Alicia Cook is a writer and creative living in Newark, New
Jersey whose words have been highlighted in Teen Vogue, CNN, and
USA Today. Her poetry is usually unfixed and covers various topics
and emotions. Her poetry mixtape, “Stuff I’ve Been Feeling Lately”
was a finalist in the 2016 Goodreads Choice Awards. When Cook is
not creating poetry or drinking Rook coffee, she is writing about
addiction and its direct effect on families.
Her series, “The Other Side of Addiction,” written in honour of her
cousin Jessica who lost her life to heroin, has developed a
worldwide readership. These are very personal accounts, written to
shed light on this deadly epidemic and prove that anyone can be
affected. Her efforts were featured on the episode “A Family
Disease” by the Emmy nominated documentary series, “Here’s the
Story”.
Alicia Cook currently writes full-time as the Director of
Institutional Communications at Bloomfield College. She loves the
ocean, French fries, champagne, and spending time with her family.
