I write

I write to breathe, to try and stop time from tripping on down the trail and around the bend without me, to give the descriptions and wandering wonderings in my head a place to curl up for a while and just be.



Jamie Lynn Heller uses poetry as her caffeine (and she needs a lot to keep up with her life of school counseling, teaching, parenting, wife-ing, daughtering, aunting, neighboring, writing, and other -ings ). Her book Buried in the Suburbs was published in 2018 (Woodley Press) and received the 2019 Kansas Notable Book Award. Her chapbook Domesticated : Poetry From Around the House was published in 2015 (Finishing Line Press). She has 90+ poems published in literary journals and magazines (for a complete list of publications see below).

Starting Again

Summer 2009 - I started writing Poetry again.  This was the one that came first:

A Little Poem

It’s just a little poem
            A little poem
Nothing to be afraid of
Nothing to run from
            Just some words
Wanting to come out and play
            Just a little poem
            A little poem
Nothing to be afraid of
