Poetry, Week 27: Jillian Bemis

 

Ground Poems


 

Jill is an interdisciplinary artist and poet. Growing up along the coastal marshland of Massachusetts has had perhaps the biggest impact on her art-making practice; the tide gifted Jill an example of slowness, rhythm, and mystery. Jill received an MFA from Lesley University where she was awarded a grant from the Photographic Resource Center (PRC), and a teaching fellowship.  She currently is an adjunct professor of art in the Boston, MA area.
