PRAISE

"What Jane does is make use of the most artfully curated words yet curiously paralleled and joined in a mind-altering, heart-pulling test of spirit and tolerance. With a background in the arts she is skillful in conjuring an image. If this were a dramatization of a 1980s counterculture event, she could have been played by Judy Davis in a Post Thatcher Cinematic British film directed by Stephen Frears." - Kofi Forsun, PoetryBay

“[Jane] is a creator who refuses to divide her artistic life into discreet compartments; instead, she moves freely between them, allowing each to inform the other. Her poetry teaches us to see. Her paintings carry the cadence of memory. Her publishing work reveals a belief in literature not just as art, but as communion.” Richard Modiano, Painter, Poet, Publisher: The Unbounded Art of Jane Ormerod, Substack
