It’s always thrilling to welcome new voices to the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival!

Lex Hamilton is a poet and essayist born and raised in Jacksonville. As a Douglas Anderson School of the Arts alumni, Lex has been growing her passion for writing for many years. More recently, her work explores the intersectionality of her life as a woman, a person of color, and an artist. Currently, Lex is a student at the University of North Florida, studying the ways in which writing can help others to heal from trauma. She dreams of creating programs, utilized in the public school system, that promote writing as a means of expression and healing for all children.
