Jen Soriano was an avid reader before she became a writer. Raised on Ramona Quimby and Anne of Greene Gables, she was later introduced to Maxine Hong Kingston, James Baldwin, N. Scott Momaday, and James Joyce. Now Jen has a reading "to-do" list that is 34 pages long. Jen divides her time between social justice movement-building and writing essays and performance poetry at the intersections of race, gender, trauma, health, colonization, and power. Melissa Febos has called Jen's work “luminous” and chose her essay “Unbroken Water” as winner of the 2019 Penelope C. Niven Prize. Aisha Sabatini-Sloan chose her essay “War-Fire” as winner of the 2019 Fugue Prose Prize, calling her work “vivid” and “cinematic”. Jen is a 2019-2020 Hugo House Fellow and Jack Jones Yi Dae Up Fellow, and received her MFA from the Rainier Writing Workshop. Her chapbook Making the Tongue Dry was a finalist in the Newfound, Cutbank and Gazing Grain Press chapbook competitions. Handbound limited editions of the book were published by the Platform Review Chapbook Series of Arts by the People in 2019 and 2020. Jen is currently at work on a memoir about historical trauma and the neuroscience of healing.
