Out of The Loop podcast with Jane Neal. This week's episode features storyteller and writer Jennifer Toon.
Jennifer Toon’s story is about how her memories of East Texas’s peaceful woods and waters brought her comfort during the nearly two decades she spent incarcerated in Texas state prison.
In prison, Toon studied French philosophers, from Voltaire to Rousseau to Camus. Toon is a survivor. She is also poetic, introspective, and uncannily attentive to life’s beauty.
Toon’s story is its raw and hard-won honesty. It is a product of the culmination of years of difficulty, growth, and processing.
