Jessica Low

From the 2009 edition of bordertown.

Hi!  My name is Jessy Low.  I was born and raised here in Joplin, MO.  I am close enough to thirty years old to round up the number and just say that I am thirty.  I have been married for seven years, to Rhett, and I have a beautiful, and wild, two-year old daughter named Emma.  I will graduate in May 2009 with a B.A. in English Literature and a B.A. in General Writing.  I plan to attend graduate school soon and to concentrate on Irish and Middle-Eastern post-colonial literature.  Hopefully, someday, I will teach literature at a university and retire in the Peace Corps.
