-"Comical, edgy, insightful and downright funny...Some of the many words used to describe, not only the work of Jill Carey, but the artist herself.
Jill finds inspiration just about everywhere and the result usually winds up on a cocktail napkin or old bank statement on its way to the finished product: these books.

If the tales of her journey through life sound familiar, it is because we all know someone just like Jill, or maybe we are Jill.   The difference being  her  ability to tell the story, warts and all,   These poems and stories are reflections of life, experience and growing.  They become more real, not just by her thoughtful illustrations, but random photos as well.

I first knew Jill as a musician, but she is so much more than that.   She makes art out of everything,  Her multi-media performances,  storytelling and readings grab you and before you know it, the night is over and you want more.  
Well here it is.   Buy it, take it home, laugh, cry and think how much these tales are about not just about Jill’s life, but your life as well."
