J. W. Bella

J. W. Bella is a product of Louisiana swamps and good food who transplanted into Texas’ opportunities and love for everything bigger. She’s been a writer for over 15 years (since her first introduction to poetry in her seventh grade gifted class). She recently published her first book, The Slip Under My Church Dress. Poetry has saved her from death and life thanks to a pen, some very powerful words, a lot of tears, many ripped papers, regrets, joys, and love. She’s forever grateful for her gift and hopes that others will be saved as well.
