Meet writer Jean Letai
Jean Letai
-excerpt from Following the Sun
For days Hungarians sang and danced –
celebrating in Parliament Square
savoring warm chestnuts
in the cold, gray air.
Like cats offered cream
we lapped up the sweet flavor of freedom.
Too bad we did not have nine lives.
I enjoy writing novels in both prose and verse, as well as picture books, essays and travel articles. My work has been published in the Boston Globe, LA Times, Japan Times, and Princeton Alumni Weekly, and my poetry appears in the anthology Friends and Anemones: Ocean Poems for Children.
When I'm not reading, writing or walking my dogs in the woods, I love speedskating and open-water swimming, as well as enjoying the cozy comforts of hygge. I am a proud mama of three 20-somethings, including an MD/PhD student, a Ghost Tour guide, and a 2022 Winter Olympian.
