April 19: Jill Divine--Poet, Traveler, Instigator, Truth-Seeker

Jill is a word artist and multi-media poet. She received her MFA from Northern Arizona University in 2018, and taught poetry, art, and many other aspects of recovery and healing at the jail in Flagstaff, Arizona. Her book of poems, Game, was a finalist for the Patterson Poetry Prize, and she is a co-founder of the semi-annual Inmate Art and Writing exhibit. She was awarded the Viola Award for Literature in 2013, and has been published in Hayden's Ferry Review and Cottonwood Press. She now resides in Flagstaff, AZ, and spends her time going on road trips and scouring the past, gathering stories from both. Jill considers herself an appreciator, a finder, a traveler of small roads, and a lover of words and of breathing. She hopes her work conveys this.
