JACKIE KIRBY is a poet and illustrator living and working in Philadelphia city Philadelphia county.

Equally inspired by high modernism and grindhouse cinema, her work takes a hedonistic pleasure in the production of meaning through images and words. She is most interested in the deployment of trans-(gender) velocities in and onto narratives. She never met Kathy Acker or Bobby Fischer, but she thinks one of them might enjoy what she does.

DOOMSDAZED TFC (Transsexual Fantasty Comek) is a vision of the end of the world full of trans pleasure and joy. It is primarily a work of dictation from Martian forces thoughts and voices, except for the parts that aren’t, which are entirely unrelated. 

Jackie holds an MFA in Comics (California College of the Arts ‘21) and has been published in Tripwire, Happiness is Luxury, Eleven and a Half, and a number of entirely fictional publications.
