Jessie Eikmann lives in south St. Louis, where she stocks shelves at a supermarket and occasionally screws around with writing. Though she mostly writes as a hobby these days, she spent six years obsessively devoted to poetry, culminating in her MFA from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 2019. Her work has appeared in Sou'wester and Unbroken Magazine. Bad Jacket Press published a chapbook of her poems, The Kiss of Complicity, which she describes as "letters to all the people who disappointed me in my life." Jessie may or may not publish any more work soon, as she lacks professional ambition and does not care what content is "appropriate" for highbrow magazines. Post-MFA, she has spent most of her time cooking fancy vegetarian food, haunting her local gym, volunteering with her labor union and the Communist party, and seeking out various sexual dalliances on OKCupid.
