Prose

Zoh’s Prose

I have been writing prose and poetry since I was six years old. Like many other professional writers though, who write for deadlines as I have, poetry and prose seem to go into exile. For the past 30 years I have been a writer who writes for all kinds of forums and they all have deadlines; tv news scripts, cable and tv programs, radio interviews, lectures, magazine articles, and political commentary. But to share one’s prose, I have always thought, is an intimate offering. As a poet one must not use words, but bear witness to their beauty, an unvieling rather than a buildling. I am always in awe of their majesty and aware of my limited abilities to acknowledge them in proper order. I have signed them all by my full name’s intials, for the “Jill” in Jill Zohara Meyerhoff Hieronimus never gave up her love of the letters that compose the soul’s song.

Enjoy!
