Regine Jackson is a Black writer based in Springfield, Massachusetts, working in horror, speculative, and fantasy across poetry and prose. Raised in a low-income, disenfranchised community, she writes from kitchens, storefronts, and city blocks, tracing mental health, girlhood, and Black interior life with documentary detail and a surreal tilt. She received the 2022 Straw Dog Writers Guild Emerging Writer Fellowship and now serves as a Board Advisor. Her work appears in the 2024 Massachusetts Bards Anthology, Pán•o•ply: Inaugural MultiCreative Anthology, Gnashing Teeth Publishing, Red Rose Thorns Lit Mag, A Queen’s Narrative: Heavy is the Crown Anthology, and the 2025 Reimagining New England Histories Project. Regine is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Cultural Connections: A Celebration of Black and Brown Literature Book Fair, and she leads The Flimsy Quill, an initiative for workshops, events, and creative mentorship.
