Poetry. Ghostly and energetic, Jayne Pupek's poems range in content through an ambivalent abortion, a lover's abandonment, childhood abuse, a bad case of the flu, and her own longings. Each poem's graceful and intense meditations connect to the reader's own world. Arlene Ang says it "Jayne Pupek has the uncanny ability to dissect relationships, objects—even situations—and rearrange them according to the blueprint of her secret house of mirrors." Jayne Pupek holds an MA in counseling psychology and has spent most of her professional life in the field of mental health. Her short fiction and poetry have appeared in numerous print and online literary journals. Her work has twice been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. She is the author of two poetry Local Girls (DeadMule, 2007) and Primitive (Pudding House Press, 2004). Her first novel, Tomato Girl, will be published by Algonquin in 2008. Jayne resides near Richmond, VA with her husband, two sons, and a menagerie of animal companions.
