Jenny L. Factor

Jenny Factor is the author of two books of poetry, Unraveling at the Name (Copper Canyon Press, 2002), and Want, the Lake (Red Hen Press, 2024). Her poetry and reviews appear in Paris Review, Ploughshares, Prairie Schooner, and a substack, Her Poetic Materials.

Beyond her work as a practicing poet, Jenny studies the social communities that build up around public and private literary life, and the media and leisure history of the long eighteenth century.
