She's taught at Stony Brook University, Empire College, C. W. Post, New York Institute of Technology, SUNY Suffolk, Penn State and the University of Iowa. Trained as a fiction writer, Hand found her poetic voice with three previous chapbooks Entrances to Nowhere, The Facts of Life, and East of July. She holds an A.B. in English from Bard College (Class of '65), where the legendary Robert Kelly oversaw her thesis, an M.A. from the Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars (Class of '66) and an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshops (Class of '68). "J.C. Hand's poetry has the requisite voltage, the electrical gists and piths that keep my eye and mind moving with her voice down the page in jolts of strobe light," said William Heyen, former poet-in-residence and professor of English emeritus at SUNY Brockport. "By way of both her interfused themes and the intensity of her saying, J.C. Hand is a sometimes shocking, often consoling, but always memorable poet. Emily Dickinson and Anne Sexton welcome her into their sisterhood." One of the included poems, Dreaming of Hell won the C. W. Post Poetry Center Award (Spring, 1977). This collection was reprinted at least once, in 1993. This limited first edition is extremely rare, with a noteworthy inscription to another, presumably aspiring, poet.
