A poet, lyricist, visual artist, accomplished playwright, and aspiring novelist, Iris Jacobs holds a BA in Communication Arts from Austin College. In addition to her creative work, Iris is an insatiable bookworm who enjoys library volunteer work, needlepoint crafting, classical singing, Latin dance, studying foreign languages, and learning how to play new musical instruments. Born prematurely with birth defects, Iris feels that she received a lifetime of training for taking on her 2021 breast cancer diagnosis as a call to healing creativity. Iris lives in Texas. This is her first book.
