Jericho M. Hockett's roots are in the farm in Kansas, and she blooms in Topeka with her family. She is a poet, social psychologist, teacher, forever student, and dreamer, most whole in the green.

She has an Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Kansas State University, with graduate certificates in Women’s Studies and Morita Therapy. She continues her education as a Full Professor at Washburn University.

Her research in social psychology has been published in a number of peer-reviewed academic journals and edited books.

Some of her poems have appeared in Coffin Bell, Yellow Arrow Journal, and Pilgrimage Magazine. Her chapbook “Rituals for Dissolution” won the chapbook poetry prize and is forthcoming from Eastern Iowa Review/Port Yonder Press. Her first full-length poetry collection “In the Bodies” was published by Unsolicited Press (2023).

Jericho is also co-editor with Topeka poet Dennis Etzel, Jr. of three collected poetry books: Ichabods Speak Out: Poems in the Age of Me, Too; Kansas Speaks Out: Poems in the Age of Me, Too (a 2023 Kansas Notables Book selected by the State of Kansas Library), and Ichabods Speak Out Again: Against Domestic Violence.

More works are always brewing.
