Season 6 Poetry Poets Creative Journeys
Jennifer M. Garnatz was born in Lucea on the Caribbean Island of Jamaica in 1953. From the age of 4, she was raised in Kingston by her extremely strict single father. Her mother migrated to the UK. Due to his busy work schedule, he immediately placed her in a boarding school, later at diverse private homes. She was also boarded with the nuns at the Convent of Mercy Alpha Academy High School. Seeking independence after graduating, she pursued a secretarial course then worked as a legal assistant. Creative writing and composing songs have been her passion since early childhood, providing her soul with solace. Excepting her daily communication with God, growing up she had no one to confide in. The first 20 years of her life had its share of traumas, among them, six weeks before her 20th birthday seeing her father’s body lying in a pool of blood with a bullet hole in his head minutes after he was murdered by criminals. Suddenly, she was on her own. Independence came in an undesired manner. https://www.jennifergarnatz.com
