Lander to Host Visiting Writer Jenn Blair
March 4, 2026
Jenn Blair is the author of four collections of poetry, Face Cut Out For Locket (Brick Road Poetry Press, 2022), Malcontent (winner of American Popular Culture’s 2017 Press Americana Poetry Prize), The Sheep Stealer (Hyacinth Girl Press) and All Things Are Ordered (Finishing Line Press). A former recipient of Broad River Press’ Ron Rash Poetry Prize and a Dorothy B. Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Award, her work has been published in such as journals as Rattle, the Kenyon Review, Copper Nickel, Pembroke Magazine, the Berkley Poetry Review, Atticus Review, Southampton Review, Still, The Chattahoochee Review, Appalachian Review, South Carolina Review, New South and the Tulane Review, among others.
Commenting on Blair’s many accomplishments, Lander creative writing professor Dr. Andrew Jameson added, “As a poet, I have always loved Jenn’s subtle humor and the way she can find spirituality in odd, unexpected sources. She’s also a teacher, a mom of three kids, and yet she’s still finding time to write poetry every day. That’s also impressive to me.”
