Quintessential Listening: Poetry Presents - Jessica Lyew-Ayee Flynn

Jessica Lyew-Ayee Flynn started her life journey in Kingston, Jamaica, moving to the United States at the age of eight and has since lived in various cities across the country. Her poetry explores topics on mixed-race heritage, culture shock, and the challenges within interracial marriage and cross-cultural love.

The primary mission of Quintessential Listening: Poetry is to provide a live format for emerging, mid-career and established poets to showcase their work. Whether traditional poetry or spoken word, the show offers an online vehicle for artists to engage in critical dialogue and discussion about poetry.
