Jackie Zollo Brooks
Filed under: Authors
Jackie received her B.A. in Drama at Tufts. Her long acting career ended when a Shakespearean touring company found profit in children's shows, forcing Jackie to play Max in a bear suit in "Where the Wild Things Are".
Moving on, she fell headlong into the acid bath at Harvard University. Nine years later she finished her doctoral dissertation. Exhausted, Dr. Jackie joined the Peace Corps to teach in Madagascar. She had thirty-three shots for diseases before going to Africa and believes she will never die.
Selected poems were published in 2009 by Wild Leaf Press in New Haven. Her novel, The Ravenala, is out in the mail. Recent short stories have been published in Glimpse and The Serving House Journal.
