    Jen Swanson Yates

    I have been writing for many years now. Mostly poetry, a childrens book and working on another book I am not far enough into to name yet. Poetry is a deep passion of mine. I love getting lost in the words and what they bring to me. I find it very theraputic at times for myself and others. I also love to read, watch movies, spend time with my family in Lexington, photography, love my dogs, crocheting, knitting, scrapbooking, sewing, quilting, love my husband and kids & our extended family! I guess that's about it on me....
