More About Jody:
Jody Collins offers people encouragement & practices to deepen their walk with God by making friends with poetry. She is the author of three books, a recent poet and past freelance editor.

Jody and her husband are Southern California transplants to the Seattle area where they’ve lived for 30 years.
