She's no Derek Wal­cott, but Jacque­lyn Sturge is a bril­liant po­et­ess. Jacque­lyn has mas­tered the art of stress re­lief through her po­em, though sim­ple, but ef­fec­tive. She has pub­lished four books un­der the theme Live, Love, Laugh a Lot, which ap­pears to be her ap­proach to life. Her po­ems are re­al­ly win­dows in­to life in Trin­ba­go and ex­tols the things Tri­ni.

They are hu­mor­ous and en­ter­tain­ing Jacque­lyn is quite a sen­si­tive po­et­ess, who has a keen eye. The po­ems in her book touch­es al­most all top­ics un­der a trop­i­cal sun. Those about God are quite con­scious about the role of the cre­ator in our lives. Jacque­lyn is the moth­er of four chil­dren and lives in Brook­lyn, USA.

She is Tri­ni to the mar­row, hav­ing spent her ear­ly child­hood in Amer­i­ca.
