<description>&lt;p&gt;Buckle up, folks! In this episode, we had an absolute blast chatting with the multi-talented Jenny Dickinson, who wears her poet and silversmith hats with flair. Imagine the sun shining in Texas as she shares her journey of self-publishing her poetry collection, 'Pluto in Capricorn', amidst the chaos of soggy journals and garden plans. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade – or in this case, poetry! Jenny's process of gathering her scattered thoughts while sipping coffee on her porch was both hilarious and relatable. It’s like a creative boot camp where life threw her a curveball, and she hit it out of the park with her words. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As we dove deeper, we explored Jenny's unique approach to poetry, which is all about capturing the raw and real moments of life, especially the tumultuous relationships we all seem to navigate. The way she balances the heavier topics with a sprinkle of humor is like a breath of fresh air. It's refreshing to hear someone express the messiness of life without the burden of despair, reminding us all that it’s okay to feel lost sometimes, as long as we keep moving forward. Plus, she shared some delightful anecdotes about her experiences performing poetry, including a memorable burlesque show incident that had me in stitches! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But wait, there’s more! We also delved into her silversmithing journey, where she crafts jewelry that not only looks stunning but also tells a story. Just picture wearing a piece that resonates with your soul while it catches the light – talk about a conversation starter! Jenny's passion for merging her poetry with her crafts is an inspiring testament to living a creative life. So if you’re in need of some creative inspiration or just want to kick back and enjoy some witty banter about art and life, this episode is your ticket to a delightful escape.

Bio

Jennie Allida Dickenson Is a millennial hailing from the Northeastern Nevada high desert. She has lived in San Francisco, CA Olympia, WA and points throughout East Texas where she currently resides. A Jennie of all trades, she has held a myriad of jobs but prefers to think of herself as a silversmith. A poet, perhaps, when the poems get wrangled out of her. This collection features strictly her poems, but she plans to publish memoirs from the many adventures she has survived.

This poetry collection spans more than fifteen years of the author’s adventurous life. Buckle up for poems of love, romance, tragedy, heartbreak, determination and self-actualization. Read it as a memoir, or a warning tale, let it flow over you as words that have passed. There is a new chapter being written with every new experience. This is the flotsam and jetsam from the years between 2008-2024. My life is my signature and it is a gripping account of all the bullets I have dodged.

I invite you into the mess of my heart. Through the raw, tender, and profound, I trace the rough threads of love, loss, and longing. These poems are for anyone who has loved deeply, questioned their own heart, or searched for the beauty in vulnerability. There are poems here for those who have raised their faces to the sky asking, “WHY?! As well. Sure to stir a familiar emotion in you at some point, I hope you find a poem to be a companion through your own unforgettable adventure.
