Raised in Philadelphia, Jacqueline Osherow graduated from Radcliffe College with a BA magna cum laude, and from Princeton University with a PhD. At Harvard, she was part of the Harvard Lampoon. Her specialty is love poetry and Biblical poetry and she has been featured in Best American Poetry. Writing in a 1999 article for the Poetry Society of America, Osherow said, “If I write out of a specific poetic tradition, it is the Jewish poetic tradition, American poet though I am.”  Her work has appeared in The New Criterion, The Jewish Daily Forward, The Yale Review, and many other journals and quarterlies. Additionally, she has been anthologized in Twentieth Century American Poetry (2003), The Wadsworth Anthology of Poetry (2005), Jewish American Literature: A Norton Anthology (2000), and The Penguin Book of the Sonnet (2001), and has twice been included in Best American Poetry.
