KJ Hannah Greenberg tilts at social ills and encourages personal evolutions via poetry, prose, and visual art. Her images have appeared as interior art in many places, including Foliate Oak Literary Magazine, Les Femmes Folles, Mused, Piker Press, The Academy of the Heart and Mind, The Front Porch Review, and Yellow Mama and as cover art in many places, including Angime, Black Petals, Door is A Jar Literary Magazine [sic], Impspired [sic], Pithead Chapel, Red Flag Poetry, Right Hand Pointing, Smoky Blue Literary and Arts Magazine, The Broken City, Torah Tidbits and Yellow Mama. Additionally, some of her digital paintings are featured alongside of her poetry in One-Handed Pianist (Hekate Publishing, 2021) and in Subrogation (Seashell Books, 2023). She uses a point-and-shoot camera (describing herself as a 'granny' who does not own a smart phone or other, complex device).
Artist's Statement: I delight in words and images. Sometime after the Mesozoic Era, I became a Rhetoric Professor, who taught writing courses, speaking courses, all manner of communication courses, and intermittent courses in sociology. I won National Endowment for the Humanities funding as well as National Communication Association distinctions. Two decades and four kids later, I relocated to “the other side of the world.” There, I dusted off my keyboard, invited back my muse, and began to churn out more smoothies, vegetable soup, and creative works than might be considered proper for a middle-aged mom. To wit, I’ve seen more than forty-five of my books published. These days, I still party with the imaginary hedgehogs that I met in midlife, write about the foibles of parenting, teach online courses to emerging writers the world over, and deign to use color and shape to express feelings. Exposure to feral ideas remains important to me.
