I found her poetry on the internet. I recommend “I Installed a Telescope in Your Room After You Died.” Anyone know how I can reach her?

I love how the writer uses the metaphor of The Memory Game. Absolutely beautiful.

A heartbreaking essay. I appreciate how the author refuses to romanticize mental illness: “How can anyone be creative like this?” she says.

Great essay Jeannie. A compelling narrative. I liked the varied perspectives on the “I.”

This is such a beautiful and compelling meditation on loss, and life. The details are exquisite, and its incredibly moving. Jeannie somehow found a way to write about what sometimes is so hard to even speak about. Bravo!

The author seamlessly threaded together seemingly disparate ideas (bipolar disorder, poetry, the loss of her father) and made them seem essential to one another. I’d love to see more of her work.
