I gave the website a makeover in honor of Red Army Red, whose publication is now less than a year away. It also seemed time. So many of my poets friends have sites that reflect their personalities: quirky, soft, loud, retro. If nothing else, mine at least needed some coolification, a little streamlining. I don't know if the site is any more Jehanne than it was before--ideally, my website would need a mid century vibe, some images evoking Panton or Eames. But at least it's prettier now, easier to navigate. And it's red, which seems like a good beginning for Red Army Red. So, go check me out here. And if anyone out there is a fantastic (read: both good and cheap) photographer, I desperately need a new headshot that will make me look like the best, poet-iest version of myself.

Redesign
As a child, I was considered something of an artistic prodigy. I used to take classes at the Corcoran with college students who were twice my size (I was eight at the time). And although I no longer paint and draw, I can still sew anything, learn how to make almost anything if given a chance. But, my excellent hand-to-eye coordination does not extend to that thing we call the Interwebs. I don't know code. I don't have lots of snazzy voice files and images with which to fancy up my website. So, when I decided it was time to revise "www.jehannedubrow.com," there wasn't a lot that I could bring to the table...um, I mean laptop.

The new site looks FABULOUS (so says a fellow lover of the red & black palette). I know how harrowing redesigns can be. Awesome job~
I also really like how this new website looks. Also, HTML--whatever. I know a very wee bit. If I could teach myself how to make a quilt like some people...well, now that would be something! Also, I have to get rid of this stupid "Professor Santamaria" moniker...
