ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jamie Yonker is a fourth-generation midwestern poet who draws inspiration from the intersection of alcoholism and spirituality. As a child, she never witnessed her father’s depiction in the media or in waking life, thus Jamie took it upon herself to be the voice she hadn’t stumbled upon in her younger years. When not looking for god in the small places, she can usually be found sitting on a humble Lake Michigan beach or beckoning a street cat near her home in Grand Rapids, MI.
