Alicia Jo Rabins is an award-winning writer, musician, performer and Jewish educator. The New York Times calls her voice “gorgeous”; the San Francisco Chronicle calls her writing “a poetry page-turner.” She is the author of two poetry books, Divinity School (2015 APR/Honickman First Book Prize winner), Fruit Geode (2018 Jewish Book Award finalist) and a book of short personal essays about early parenthood and Jewish spirituality, Even God Had Bad Parenting Days. Rabins is the creator and star of A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff, an independent feature film about the intersection of finance and mysticism, which screened at Lincoln Center and won multiple awards at film festivals. As a musician, Rabins has released three albums (and accompanying feminist Torah study guides) with Girls in Trouble, her indie-folk song cycle about Biblical women, and is currently at work arranging the songs for choir, and adapting the project into a theatrical show. Rabins lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and two children. Find her at www.aliciajo.com.
