In Banana & Salted Caramel, Holly Jackson brings together verse and prose written across two decades, expressing themes such as loss, growth, hope, infertility and political strife with humour, honesty, vulnerability and satirical wit.
From poems about graveyards and brain freeze to stories chronicling the unintended consequences of a hen party game, Jackson takes us on a journey, through poetry and prose, spanning years, exploring what it means to be an adult, a wife, a mother and a woman.
Holly Jackson was born in North Wales and has lived all over the UK, including Berkshire and the Lake District. She now lives in County Durham and works as a teaching assistant for children with additional needs. Holly has been writing poetry and short fiction for over twenty years and her work has appeared in Fragmented Voices, MumWrite, Poet Versus, Analog Submission Press, Periwinkle Lit Mag, Skirting Around Magazine and others.

Banana and Salted Caramel is Holly Jackson’s debut collection.
