Jane Satterfield is a British-American poet, essayist, editor, and professor. She is the recipient of a 2007 National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellowship in poetry.
Jane Satterfield was born in Northamptonshire, England and raised in the United States. She is the daughter of an American serviceman and an Irish-English mother. Her mother had grown up in Corby, where she also gave birth to Satterfield.
Satterfield earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and Creative Writing from Loyola College (now Loyola University Maryland) in 1986. The following year, she received a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Iowa.
In 1994 Satterfield moved to England for a year as a result of her first husband's participation in the Fulbright Program. At this time she became pregnant with her daughter Catherine who was also born in England. Satterfield and Catherine's father eventually divorced. Until 2006, Satterfield raised her daughter largely as a single mother. Satterfield writes about this period in her life in Daughters of Empire: A Memoir of a Year in Britain and Beyond.
Satterfield became a tenured professor of writing at Loyola College in 2005. She currently lives in Baltimore, Maryland. Her husband is poet Ned Balbo.
