Molly Hackett Jeopardy Contestant Profile
Molly Hackett is a writer, performer, and professional poet originally from Denver, Colorado, who is now based in New York City. She is known for her project Fair City Poems, where she writes custom poems for strangers and clients, often using a typewriter. Hackett describes herself as a lifelong storyteller who believes that sharing stories is central to the human experience. Her work draws inspiration from folk traditions and everyday encounters, reflecting the idea that poetry can be created anywhere, whether passed down through generations like a folk song or written spontaneously for someone on the street.
The name of her project comes from the traditional Irish folk song “Molly Malone.” The song tells the story of a woman selling cockles and mussels through the streets of Dublin, and Hackett adapted this idea to her own work by metaphorically “selling poems” in the streets of her city. Through Fair City Poems, she writes personalized poems on demand for individuals, couples, and audiences, creating a unique form of interactive poetry. Since moving to New York City in 2021, she has written thousands of poems for people from around the world and has built a following on social media, where she promotes her poetry services and creative projects.
Hackett works as a poet for hire, offering custom poems for purchase and appearing at live events. Her poetry writing has been featured at corporate and cultural events for organizations including the Fashion Institute of Technology, Intuit, Morgan Stanley, NAADAM, Poetry is Gay, and the New York–based comedy show “That’s Poetic!” In addition to writing poems on commission, she is also an essayist and fiction writer. Her broader body of work includes essays, short stories, and several novels that are currently in progress.
Outside of live poetry performances and commissions, Hackett also publishes writing through her newsletter titled “Here’s the Thing,” where readers can subscribe to receive updates and new work. Her creative identity combines traditional literary storytelling with performance art and interactive poetry, making her part of a growing group of contemporary poets who bring poetry into public spaces and events rather than limiting it to books or academic settings.
