"Jay brings so much magic to the classroom. He breathes life into stories from long ago and has the patience to let the kid's own stories weave themselves into it." --Elizabeth Stewart​

Jay Leeming is an award-winning poet, storyteller, and musician whose work has inspired audiences throughout the United States and abroad. He is the author of the poetry books Miracle Atlas (Writers and Books, 2011) and Dynamite on a China Plate (Backwaters Press, 2006), and is the recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.​

Jay Leeming has his own way of thinking which isn’t like anyone else’s. His most individual poems come from that surprising angle of vision that marks him as a real poet.  His poems are winged beings that dive straight to the playful, lunatic heart of human companionship.
