Jennifer’s introspective poems explore themes of yearning for a meaningful life, uncertainty of final creation, self-reflection, forgiveness and anticipation of inspiration, exclusively for Different Truths.
yearning for a life filled with meaning *** does a poet ever know when they’re writing their very last poem? *** I look in the mirror and see myself looking back through those same eyes *** forgiveness ebbs and flows with my heart's bandwidth *** I am waiting for a poem to descend and alight on my tongue

Jennifer Gurney, based in Colorado, teaches, paints, writes, and hikes. Her poems have appeared internationally in 11 books and won two contests. They have also been set to music, displayed on screens in Australia, printed in Washington, D.C., shared through the Rx Poetry project, and featured on a bus in Wisconsin. A lifelong writer, she says that at 62, joy and sorrow finally give her enough depth to write a decent poem now and then.
