jes wright

Jes Wright began writing poetry as a young lady growing up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in northern California. She earned a college degree, then lived in a 'Bohemian' coastal village along the Pacific Ocean where she and her husband created their two boys. Her first collection of poetry captures Jes's true foot steps of mothering--a more vigorous and worthwhile learning experience then any other she has yet to encounter. Her bare foot path has brought her to the base of the Allegany foothills where she has finally 'settled' down enough to plant some deep gardening roots, fully embrace writing all-the-while enjoying the blessings of motherhood.

From the book:

Bare foot steps

These are our paths,

not chosen,

by us

as we accept

an offering

greater than unseen love.

Settling

us into our bare feet

dancing across hot pavement,

from lake's shore to car door,

on a steamy July afternoon.

We love

passionately.

Creating

our artwork

in the shape of two boys.

One,

laughing.

One

quietly smiling,

too young to speak

the words

of his older brother,

who skips an amazing tune

out with salty breaths.

Our artwork.

Beautiful,

pure,

passionate.

Teaching us

a Zen way.

Slow, steady,

happily

in that moment.

Not consumed with the past

nor, overwhelmed with the future.

Just loving

these

wet footsteps

across hot pavement.
