Jeannine Savard

Jeannine Savard (born 1950) is an American poet, born in the Adirondack Mountain Region of New York State. Her poems are lyrical and involve an inner landscape that sometimes reflects that lush region of the country with its fir trees, lakes, waterfalls, and wildlife, as well as that more austere landscape of the Southwest desert where she has lived since the 1980s as an Associate Professor of English at Arizona State University.

Savard's poems also appear in Blackbird, The Fiddlehead, Superstition Review, Crab Orchard Review, Hayden’s Ferry Review, The Salt River Review, and The Nashville Review.
