Performance Reviews

“Jan Steckel, who should probably be the poet laureate of East Bay Review, should teach a course on how to own a room.”
-Jeff Chon, Editor-in-Chief of East Bay Review
.

"Jan writes beautifully about both pain and joy with detailed descriptions that put you right in either the patient's or the doctor's shoes with crystal clear empathy and compassion. Jan's writing always has an emotional punch and descriptive angle that will clarify the world around the reader. I highly recommend reading and hearing her any chance you get.”
— Debra Grace Khattab, host of "Word Beat"

“Jan Steckel has been giving readings at venues in the East Bay and San Francisco. You'll know her by a certain glowing exuberance and by the fact that when she 'reads,' she presents memorized poems, and immediately breaks down the wall between stage and audience.”
— Jannie Dresser, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief
of the ​Bay Area Poets Seasonal Review.
