Joanne Jacobson trained as an academic but has written personal narrative for the last twenty years—and a native Midwesterner who has lived in New York City for three decades. A widely published essayist, she is the author of three books: a scholarly monograph on the politics of letter-writing; a memoir on growing up Jewish in suburbia; and, most recently, a collection of essays that puts into dialogue with one another two chronic illnesses, her mother’s lung disease and her own rare blood disorder. At the heart of everything she writes is her concern with the precious resources that language brings to human resiliency. She has taught at the University of Iowa, the University of Angers (France), Middlebury College, and at Yeshiva University.
