Courtney Leigh Jameson
- Editor in Chief - Courtney started The Bruised Peach Press out of passion for poetry and writing. After graduating from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Arts in English Creative Writing, Courtney needed a way to stay in touch with the “poetry world” and with the various academic poetry programs. She created The Bruised Peach Press not just as a way to enhance her poetic awareness, but to help other struggling poets as well. She currently lives in Walnut Creek, California and attends Saint Mary’s College of California for her MFA in Poetry.
