Jessica Siobhan Frank is a poet and writer from the Chicago suburbs, though she also claims Wisconsin (Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo) as her honorary home. She is the author of 24 Days of Cookies: A Different Batch of Cookies Every Day in December Until Christmas. Jessica is also former journalist (as are most of her friends from the newspaper industry) and claims to be the human version of Grammarly.

Her work has appeared or are forthcoming in The Talon Review, Great Lakes Review, Crab Orchard Review, Ninth Letter, Mid-America Poetry Review, MockingHeart Review, and elsewhere.

Poetry is Jessica’s main focus, but she has been known to write a little fiction, some creative non-fiction, feature magazine articles, a cookbook, and a few (well-deserved) nasty grams.

Jessica’s work has received support from the Anderson Center at Tower View, The Unruly Retreat, and Arteles Creative Center. She holds an MFA in poetry and an MA in English from McNeese State University and a BA in English from Augustana College. She currently works in corporate and/or non-profit communications and adjuncts at the College of DuPage.

She lives in Illinois with her husband Jeff, some kids at various stages of adulthood that may or may not physically live in the house anymore, and two cats she’s constantly trying to impress.
