Annmarie Lockhart, editor of vox poetica, has been reading and writing poetry since she could read and write. A lifelong Bergen County resident, she lives two miles from the hospital
where she was born.
Jeanette Cheezum's most recent poem here was Another Day's Work, published as part of Contributor Series 8: Feast and Famine. Jeanette often steps out of her own personal experience and gives us looks at and into the lives of others. If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you stop by cavalcadeofstars, Jeanette's new online literary magazine. You'll see names familiar and new and you'll see wonderful fiction and poetry across the pages.
