Jacqueline Huynh Young is a Vietnamese-American artist based in Los Angeles, with roots in Southern California’s Mojave desert.

A graduate of California Institute of the Arts with an M.F.A. in Creative Writing, her poetry has been featured in Hobart, The Rush, Entropy, and Thalia Magazine. She was named a finalist for the 2017 Concrete Wolf Poetry Chapbook Award. Her chapbook The Distance Formula is out through Finishing Line Press.

Of The Distance Formula, Maggie Nelson (On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint) writes, “Jacqueline Young follows the rhythm of her attention with a gentle doggedness, inviting the reader into poems that feel somehow both meticulous and roomy. Her poems are so lucid, so smart, so coiled, so surprising, so quietly probing, I feel the utmost of gratitude for them.”
