About J.S. Shepard

Poet. Author. Speaker.

Shepard is a first-time published poet, who has used his craft to cope with the challenges of addiction, heartbreak, and the juxtapositions of the good and bad in life.

Fueled by his coming-of-age experiences, Shepard’s strongly visual poetry offers readers insight into his world as he struggled with finding a place he belonged, as well as coping with, and ultimately overcoming, his addiction.

With his flowing prose, Shepard hopes that his work is accessible to readers and gives them a safe space to authentically feel the emotions they’re going through.

Shepard currently resides in Michigan, and his first published work, The Rocky Shores, is available now through Blurb and Amazon in soft cover (ISBN: 979-8-9855009-0-5) and e-book format (ISBN: 979-8-9855009-1-2).
