Praise for Annaliese’s Work

“Annaliese is a singular talent. Her writing is rich, spare, always thoughtful, sometimes wrenching, and deeply honest. I am a huge fan!”

— Christina Baker Kline, New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train, A Piece of the World and The Exiles, among others

“Such startling and wonderful work!”

— Alix Kates Shulman, author of Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen, Drinking the Rain, Burning Questions: A Novel, and more

“Annaliese Jakimides’s enjambments are a lyric all within themselves and how she juxtaposes words creates the voluminous possibilities of language that many poets fail to recognize, let alone, execute.” 

— Randall Horton, author of Dead Weight, Hook, and {289-128}: Poems and the recipient of the Gwendolyn Brooks Poetry Award, the Bea Gonzalez Poetry Award, and the American Book Award in Oral Literature as a member of the performance group Heroes Are Gang Leaders

“What a voice Annaliese Jakimides has, what tone and urgency, beautiful imagery, lyricism and tightness, integrity and craft in every essay, each poem, every single line.” 

— Laure-Anne Bosselaar, Santa Barbara poet laureate and author of many collections, including The Hour Between Dog and Wolf, Small Gods of Grief, and Rooms Remembered
