Jessica Ursell

A poet and social justice advocate, Jessica Ursell lives with her husband in the cradle of the Campi Flegrei in Southern Italy. Inspired by the cerulean sea, and strong scent of espresso at her favorite pasticceria, Jessica writes about love, power, finding one's voice, and the mesmeric magic of il bel paese. Her most recent poems are Ricotta Cheese English, published by Mediterranean Poetry in November 2024 and I Can Walk Through Walls of Words, appearing in Academy of the Heart and Mind in December 2024.
 

Her poems and essays have been published by Writing in a Woman’s Voice; Ritualwell; Down in the Dirt magazine (v. 216 Scars Publications) as well as in the book, The Limits of Language, and the book Where Icarus Went; Fellowship & Fairydust, among others.
