Exploring the white space on and off the page

I’m Janette (pronounced Yanette) and I’m a native of England and the Netherlands.

For thirty-five years I’ve been digging my hands and my heart deep into the soil of Aquidneck Island, a tiny island off the coast of New England, where I have a dog and a horse and a quirky old house, and a garden with a tangle of trees.

I also have wandering feet, and every few months I come up with a watertight excuse to pack a bag and hit the road. I’ve written about my journeys—geographical and metaphorical—in more formal or esoteric styles, in print and online.

These pages are a pocket notebook and a landing-pad.
