To read LeBlanc's "At Any Moment" is to fall in love with poetry all over again. If I thought I could get by with it, I'd steal a dozen of these poems and call them my own.--David Huddle, author of "Summer Lake: New & Selected Poems."
Jean LeBlanc was born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and now lives in rural Sussex County, New Jersey. In third grade, she wrote her first poem, an ode to a mushroom; she hasn't stopped writing or reading since, despite a brief foray into the field of biology in college. Her work has appeared in numerous journals, including the Lullwater Review, Journal of New Jersey Poets, Modern English Tanka, Modern Haiku, Community College Moment, and the Kerf. Her poems are also included in The Muse Strikes Back (Story Line Press, 1997) and in The Final Lilt of Songs (South Mountain-Watchung Poets, Inc., 2008). She is the editor of the anthology Voices from Here (Paulinskill Poetry Project, 2009).
