About the Author, Jessica Kristie

Born and raised in the California Bay Area, Jessica discovered her passion to write at the young age of ten. She regurgitates her heart and mind, sometimes in structure -- sometimes in free flow, as a way to heal and understand herself and those around her.

Jessica’s inspiration comes in many forms, often inspired by just a word or quickly fleeting emotion. Through years of writing, she has been able to capitalize on her experiences, whether painful or joyous. Inside each of these moments, lies a grand piece of her history. They are a documentation of the pain life has to offer, and the hopeful bit of empowerment required for survival.

Jessica hopes to draw you close to her world through shared emotion while inspiring you to heal, love, and find the light while you are ... Dreaming in Darkness. Look for Jessica’s first book of poetry to be released in March 2011.

"Poetry is my heart, anchors my soul and documents my journey." – Jessica Kristie

Jodi Baker

So very deeply moving. Jessica Kristie has filled the pages with such heartfelt poetry and loss. Sadness and love intertwined together creating such a masterful and addictive piece of work. Such a great talent, as you will find yourself enraptured through her poetry and pain. More than simply beautiful.
She brings that what aches inside and lays it on paper. The raw emotion of love and loss.
That which it is. And that which it may be.
It's way better than beautiful.

Sammy Sutton

Dreaming In Darkness is a powerful diary in poetry, and prose. The beautiful poetry reveals a breathtaking journey through a painful hell that moves gradually upwards over a bumpy road, ultimately, leading into a state of healing.

Jessica’s poetry is a divinely classic work of art. Her flowing imagery is clear without a second of awkwardness. The poignant story is bold, a blatant display of pain, and suffering woven into the vision her words create.

Amanda Haury

In today’s fast paced society, many believe poetry is a fading art form. Then along comes a poet who breathes life into her work, and leaves her reader yearning to grab a pen themselves. Jessica Kristie’s Dreaming in Darkness contains a diverse collection of well versed poems infused with passion, emotion, sorrow and life.
