Jacqui Dunne has been writing poetry since the last century and began performing it in this one.  Tackling most venues from theatres to pubs, her poetry covers a wide range of subjects and issues, although she usually takes any decent opportunity to politicize, lampoon or praise.

Born in Liverpool to Welsh/German parents she is a mongrel poet and enjoys language, both foreign and domestic.  In performance she occasionally uses accents to get the point across, rolling a Scottish ‘r’ or dragging a vowel, Texan style.

Jacqui’s work has been published on-line, in anthologies, journals and aired on BBC Radio Merseyside. Commissions are also happily undertaken.  Her chapbook 'Butterfly in a Snow Storm' is now available. Jacqui has a Master of Arts in Writing Studies and some of her dissertation pieces are included in her current chapbook.

Jacqui believes you should ‘catch them young’, and she has, as a writer in residence, taken poetry into local schools.  To quote her directly: ‘See an inter-form poetry slam in full flow and you will never forget it!’

To Jacqui poetry is life and life is poetry. She sees something to write about everywhere.  On a mountain walk, a cliff path, a cobbled city alley.  Nothing is mundane, grey is colourful, silence is deafening, she picks up her pen...
