Jackie Sheeler is a native New Yorker, an award-winning writer, a teacher, a vocalist, and a renegade. When she was named Poet Laureate of Riker's Island for her volunteer work with young inmates, Martín Espada said, "Being Poet Laureate of Riker's Island is far more honorable and valuable than being Poet Laureate of the United States..." Jackie’s first collection of poems, The Memory Factory, won the Magellan Prize from Buttonwood Press in 2002. Her second book, Off the Cuffs, Poems by and about the Police, was published by Soft Skull Press in February 2003 and Thomas Lux says "This anthology should be in every police station in the US!" She recently published a chapbook, to[o] long, with Three Rooms Press and her poems often appear in literary journals such as New York Quarterly, Phoebe, The Ledge, Rattapallax, Slant, and others. Much of her work has been recorded, and CDs of her and her band, Talk Engine, still sell briskly on CDBaby. She's performed on radio and TV, at Symphony Space, Vassar College, The Nuyorican Poets Cafe, The Knitting Factory, the Austin International Poetry Festival, The Bowery Poetry Club and hundreds of other venues nationwide.
