Jen Selinsky: 154 books

"Aching for Youth," contains poems which were written (with the exception of two) in a little notebook that a friend once gave to Jen.

"Evening Reflections" is the first book Jen has written in a while. It was composed in three hours and was inspired by the music of Duran Duran and Genesis.

"Confessional Words and Experiments" is another volume of confessional works, based on a style similar to that of Anne Sexton. As was the case with some of her other works, Jen wrote this book in a variety of different moods.

"Heartfelt" is a small collection of poems which were written in 1999 and 2000, during Jen's junior year of college. Though this book is not one of the author's larger works, it divides two centuries of writing.

"Brave Soldiers" is a collection of poems which were written in 2005 and 2006 The book contains a mixture of haiku and short free-verse poems. "Brave Soldiers" is a dedication to Jen's late grandparents, Daniel and Marjorie Clarke.

"A Strange Land" is a small collection of poems which were written from December 2000 to January 2001. Jen wrote some of them while she was in New Mexico. This is one of her shortest early poetry compilations.

"Odyssey in the Making" was written a mere month before the author's life changed--before she moved to her new location. The poems reflect on Jen's thoughts while she was contemplating her life in Indiana.

"Changing Seasons" is a book of poetry which was written, primarily, in 2003, another transitional period in the author's life, as Jen immersed herself in physical fitness and entered graduate school.

"I'm Free: Poems Inspired by The Who" is another work written to the music of yet another one of Jen's favorite bands. She has been a fan of The Who since 2008.

"Thin Lines" was written at what the author, aesthetically, thought to be the prime of her life. During the summer of 2004, Jen was obsessed with physical fitness and appearance.

"Moonlight Drive: Poems Inspired by The Doors" is a work written entirely to The Doors' music. Jen has been a fan of the band ever since 1995.

"12 Hours on 117 Buttercup Drive" was completed in twelve hours between 1:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. on August 7 and August 8, 2004. The poems were written to various pieces of some of Jen's favorite classical music.

"Close to Dusk" is a book of poems which contain a more serene nature. Most of the works were written in 1999, when Jen was preparing for the new millennium.

"Hold the Line" is named after a catchy rock song by Toto, which has nothing to do with the book, although Jen wrote much of its contents while listening to classic rock.
