Jessica Raschke is a poet, writer, editor and occasional visual artist. Her first poetry collection, Luscious Glass Cage, was published in 2008 by Ginninderra Press. Her second collection, The Beguilings (Ginninderra Press), will be launched by Susan Hawthorne at Readings in Carlton on Wednesday 2 June 2010.
In 2009 she was the Café Poet in Residence at Mr Tulk Café at the State Library of Victoria, which included the installation of Bittersweet. This year she is the curator of Pure Poetry @ JOLT, where innovative poets are given centre stage to explore and perform poetry.
In between writing her third poetry collection, Jessica is working on The Poetics of the Contemporary Soul. This unique project involves interviewing people to learn about their stories and experiences of ‘soul’, which she will re-present in poetry. The working title is – of course! – The Poetics of the Contemporary Soul. If you’re interested in participating, please contact Jessica. In the meantime, keep searching this site for information about her books, several ongoing projects, and writing and editing services.
