Author Jessi Jezewska Stevens has an MFA in fiction from Columbia University and a BA in mathematics from Middlebury College. Jessi lives in New York, where she teaches fiction.
Jessi’s work has appeared in such places as: The Paris Review, Tin House, 4 Columns, Guernica, Harper’s Blog, The Los Angeles Review of Books, BOMB, and elsewhere.
For “The Exhibition of Persephone Q”, Jessi believed it would be more interesting to have Percy end up becoming more offended by the mere idea that people wouldn’t believe her. In not believing her, it would be, in a way, rejecting the kind of narrative of self that she presents.
