Jennifer Christgau-Aquino

Jennifer is an award-winning journalist, poet and fiction writer with a master’s degree in creative writing. She’s currently working on her first novel, a series of travel essays and a chapbook. She writes, teaches, watches the fog roll in, puzzles, plays tennis and talks way too much to her cat from the Bay Area home she shares with her husband, two children, a chicken-less chicken coup, and a vintage trailer she will someday refurbish.
