Courtney Jett Walker
Courtney Jett Walker spent half of her childhood on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the other half in the historic town of Orange, Virginia. It was a childhood filled with family, nature, and all-things-quintessential-eighties. These places and experiences informed in her a deep sense of family and surroundings, community and aloneness, and attention to detail. Her love of poetry developed at a young age when she learned, almost as soon as she could write, that nothing describes what you see and feel quite like a poem. Now raising four children of her own in small-town Virginia, she wishes to instill in them the freedom to experience the world both together and alone, as a way of holding on and letting go of what it is to be human. Courtney lives in Scottsville, Virginia with her husband, four children, two dogs, one cat, six chickens, two goats, and one beloved blue betta fish.

Poems of the Day: The Ramblewood
$14.95
written by Courtney Jett Walker
In life, you ramble along, learn to live with intention, get lost along the way, and often find yourself back where you started. Poems of the Day: The Ramblewood is an individual expression of these lived experiences, finding the beauty in the messy process. It illuminates how our lives connect and disconnect with others; how, in our aloneness, we can connect with nature like an old friend and learn more about ourselves; how we can soak in the sunshine and breathe in the moonlight. These poems are a journey through being human, a woman, a mother and a wife, and they ask meaningful questions about our sense of worth at every step in life—with each step taken through the dewy morning grass. Inside these pages, through the solitary practice of reading poetry, you may discover togetherness anew.
