Annaliese Jakimides
Annaliese Jakimides is a writer and mixed media artist who grew up in inner-city Boston, the first generation of a refugee family; raised three children on 40+ acres on a dirt road in northern Maine; and now lives in an apartment in downtown Bangor. Cited in national competitions and nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net, she’s published prose and poetry in many journals, magazines, and anthologies, including most recently Breaking Bread: Essays from New England on Food, Hunger, and Family. Her work has been broadcast on NPR and Maine Public. Her beginnings with artwork were fueled by the only materials she could access when she lived on the land: moss, bark, botanicals. They have found their way into private collections in the U.S. and beyond. All of it feels like an alternate language with which to tell stories, both personal and fictional.
