WHERE WILLOWS WEEP
a short story and poetry collective
By Jill Terry

Some of us understand artistic creation to be more than a simple aesthetically pleasing moment for the appreciative audience. While there is an obvious reward to be garnered from creating work that is enjoyed by others, true art is, in many cases, not necessarily created for an audience. It is the cathartic child of the creator. A patchwork quilt rendered from dreams, visions, angelic visitations, and exorcised demons.

Jill understands, and fully embodies this creative process. She brings to the page an intimate understanding of a very simple, yet infinitely complex truth ~ genius, art, and Muse must be expressed. Even if no one else understands. Even if no one else gets it. It is, without question, one of the most important freedoms a true artist can be gifted with, and share with the universe. Artistic calling should always be freely and truthfully expressed to the fullest. It is a song sung both to, and in honor of, the Gods.

With the beautiful, melancholic soft-focus imagery of Teasdale, to the razor sharp, visceral brutality of Bukowski and Fante, Jill explores the gamut of human emotion; blindingly brilliant in its illumination one moment, bone-chillingly dark and hopeless the next.

Explore the human condition as seen through the eyes of this chronicler of truth. Let the tears and laughter wash over you, purify you, and leave you forever changed... you will thank her for these glimpses, and thank yourself for opening your heart, your mind, your eyes, and your soul.
