Jenne Hsien Patrick / 潘先思亞 (she/they) is a writer and interdisciplinary artist based in the Pacific Northwest (Tacoma, WA). She writes poetry, comics, hybrid text/image works, and is also creating mamalaohu, a RISOgraph micropress focused on the intersection of text, image and the senses.
Jenne is currently writing about motherhood, family history, and self-preservation and survival as an inheritance from the matriarchal lines of their family. She is tenderly recording, drawing ink onto paper or upon cloth with thread, stitch by stitch.
Jenne is a Tin House Workshop alum (Winter and Summer), a 23/24 Hugo House Fellow, and was a scholarship recipient for the ‘20 Mendocino Coast Writer’s Conference. They have work published in or forthcoming from publications such as Poetry Northwest, Asian American Writer’s Workshop/Margins, Hayden’s Ferry Review and Honey Literary among others.
In their past lives, Jenne was a rock n roll photographer, played in many punk bands, taught art and handcraft skills in public schools, designed textiles and interiors, and has hand-spun miles and miles of yarn.
