Writer. Daydreamer.
Seeker of the Wild.
Hello there!
Welcome to my creative space. I write poetry, fiction, and essays, and oftentimes, my soul orbits around common themes—grief, hope, nostalgia, chronic illness, nature, and what it means to be human.
So settle in. Take a look around. I’m glad you’re here.

A Bit About Me
Who is Jennifer Ziegler?
I am a poet, author, and chronic illness blogger from the space between the mountains and sea of Northern California.
I write fantasy and science fiction novels, and my poetry often explores themes of grief and hope, the solace of nature, and what it means to be human. My poetry has been published in literary magazines including The Walnut Branch and Macrame Literary Journal.
When I’m not writing, you can find me playing sand volleyball, visiting local coffee shops with my writing group, reading with my rescue cat, Newbert, or hiking with my husband among the hills of our new home in Southeast Tennessee.
5 Random Facts About Me

3. Some of my all-time favorite books and poets
are Inkheart, Red Rising, The Cruel Prince trilogy,
The Starless Sea, and Mary Oliver, Sylvia Plath,
E. E. Cummings, and Samuel Hurley.

but I’ve been out of the country once to visit the Netherlands and it was absolutely magical.

games from the ’90s, particularly Toontown and Bugdom. Gah, the nostalgia!
