About Jacqueline

I am a two time winner of Maryland State Arts Council Individual Awards for fiction and for screenwriting. My fiction has appeared in the North Atlantic Review, Green Mountain Review, and the Worcester Review. 

Recently I have explored poetry, both literary and slam. I have performed at numerous open mic venues. My poetry topics include mental illness, feminism, depression, drug addiction, domestic violence, and what it is like to be an identical twin.

These poems will appear in a chapbook I am currently working on, encompassing the lives of the marginalized, class issues,

depression, etc....

These poems are all about the highs and lows of being an identical twin. I do have an identical twin sister. Please be advised that I based some of the poems loosely on our relationship, but in the name of art, things have been tweaked. My real twin sister is a wonderful artist and a beautiful soul.
