Works of art "are always products of having been in danger.
Of having gone to the very end of an experience,
to where one can go no further."

--Ranier Maria Rilke

"Your poetry is luminous, clear, powerful..."
-- Larry Dossey, M.D., author of many books including
Healing Words, The Power of Prayer in the Practice of Medicine

"Jaclyn is a guide, and if you are ready to listen
she will put it down in words for you."
-- Suzanne Cheryl Gardner, Editor, The Higher Source, Bainbridge Island

I've enjoyed writing poetry healing, recovery, mystic courage, civil outrage and world enlightenment. Some of my poems have been published on web sites having to do with healing, and a few were included on the walls of Seattle's Center of Contemporary Art during April, 2000 as part of their celebration of National Poetry Month. 

For publication, some poems you see here have also been published elsewhere: two poems were published in The Higher Source, September, 2000 & December, 2001; one poem was published in The Peninsula Press, Spring, 2000; and four poems were published in The Awakenings Review , May, 2003. 

Samples from my three books of poetry may be found on the following pages:

Annunciation, Mystic Songs

Crossing Over, Poetry, Prose, Play

The Wisdom to Grow Downwards, Poetry of Loss and Recovery
