I have been glad to have been surprised by surprises…and I heard not a few times my own spontaneous laughter.

Controlled and inventive, lyrical and richly sensuous, she deftly weaves surreal imagery into the ordinary and manages to be both playful and serious minded.

Jenny’s delivery was exquisite, the language both sparse and rich.

Jenny Hope taps into the power of nature to create mesmerising poems . Her performance style grips the audience so a taut, rapt silence fills the space. A professional facilitator of writing workshops and projects, Jenny brings out the best writing in all age ranges.

Jenny Hope’s poetry is, by turns, evocative, sensual and rich, often tapping into a sense of the uncanny. Her performances are spellbinding and she brings this gift into her interesting and varied workshops.

Jenny Hope has always been a stalwart of the local poetry and spoken word scene and is a go to for LitFest and our Speakeasy open mic events. Jenny is the voice of woodland and spirits, an otherworldly poet performer and a strong, proud and powerful performer, and friend!
