Jacquie Velasco is a writer (out of spiritual necessity), director (out of cinephilic passion), dancer (out of childish joy), actor (out of work), and pilates teacher (out of fiscal responsibility). She is a long time resident of Los Angeles, California, where she lives with her husband (who is out of her league) and their cat (who is missing most of her teeth). I Don’t Keep Diaries Anymore is Jacquie Velasco’s debut chapbook.
