CD: Tremble Quake Quiver Oscillate $10 Book: So Much for the Trust Fall $15 Book: a quiet section of home $10 Jennifer E. Hudgens, born and raised in Oklahoma City, has been a poet since she first pushed her way out of the womb, with a tiny lottery pencil in hand. She cannot walk down any aisle that has school supplies, without feeding her notebook addiction. There is nothing better than a fresh note book. She has been previously published in Kill Poet Issue 2, Decomp Magazine Feb 2008 issue, Pedestal Magazine Issue 60 Oct-Dec 2010, released her first book of poems, a quiet section of home & CD She Wakes in 2008, in 2010 released CD Tremble Quake Quiver Oscillate, also working on her new book Wake Me Up When the World Ends, due for release late 2010. She is also the Slam master of Red Dirt Poetry in Oklahoma City, a member of The Oklahoma City Starving Artists Coalition. She loves cheese, Rick rolling strangers, the deliciously superb hum and quake of metaphor. She also talks about herself in third person only when asked to for bios. She hopes you like her poems. J
