I currently teach high school English and Creative Writing at an option school in Jefferson County, Colorado. I live with my beautiful wife and baby boy, and we try to take Haiku the Wonder Dog out for as much exercise as possible. Otherwise, she eats the diapers. I don’t really have spare time, but I do have a trunk load of things I do besides teach. I hold a Masters in Liberal Studies with a major in Creative Writing from University College at Denver University. I play bass. I read.
When it comes to literature, I am most passionate about poetry–the idea of capturing a glimpse of humanity with a glimpse of words, all reflecting the awe of creation (as both process and product). I’m working on writing poems and getting published, not to prove anything to anybody, but to add my part into the chorus of artists and writers trying to figure it all out.

[...] J.E. Jacobson is not your average poet, but a man with many hats. To begin with, he teaches high school English and Creative Writing in Colorado. He is finishing up his Masters Degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Creative Writing. He plays bass. He is married with a new baby. Oh, and then there is keeping up with “Haiku the Wonder Dog,” the family’s Black Labrador. [...]
