About Essie
Essie Sappenfield grew up in Texas when people talked in colorful idioms and quoted the King James Bible. Those cadences, along with her passion for eavesdropping, give her poems an easy conversational style. She lives in the Germantown Commons cohousing community in Nashville, Tennessee.
