J.C. Eavenson
Des Plaines, IL

J.C. Eavenson was born in Chicago and raised in the surrounding area. Growing up with two siblings during a time when children running feral was normal, provided fertile soil for her imagination. She started writing poetry and children’s stories in high school. Eight years ago, she helped start a writing group at her local library. In those eight years, she attended several workshops at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival. She has written poems, several short stories, and two novels currently in the revision stage.

By day, J.C Eavenson is a Special Needs Teacher at a middle school. She enjoys walks, bike rides, cooking, and spending time with loved ones.

Shards of Glass

​

​

​

The strongest of glass is meant to withstand

Great heat and zero degree cold

Go to extreme and glass will explode

Shatter into thousands of pieces

 

Shards of Glass are strewn all over the floor

On tables and countertops

Beautiful frozen raindrops

Fractures that gleam like diamonds

 

Sweep, vacuum,

Examine every spot

Make sure not a shard of glass that was shot

Can scratch or cut gentle skin

 

Days, weeks, months later

Shards of glass can spear

Caution could not make the sparkling dust disappear

And we walk gingerly wherever we go
