Jenny Kander move from South Africa to Bloomington, Indiana in 1992. She began writing poetry later in life and became a prominent member of the local poetry scene. Of her many contributions, Jenny created two radio programs, one of which is the Poets Weave, which she began at WFIU in 1999. Her poetry has appeared in Flying Island, California Quarterly, Bathtub Gin, Wind, Southern Indiana Review, and Shiver. She published two chapbooks: Taboo and The Altering Air.
