Jennifer Sinor

Jennifer Sinor's most recent book is an essay collection entitled Sky Songs: Meditations on Loving a Broken World. Kirkus describes Sky Songs as "a lyrically profound collection" in which the essays "work to create a tapestry that is both searching and insightful." Jennifer is also the author of Letters Like the Day: On Reading Georgia O'Keeffe, a collection of essays inspired by the letters of the American modernist Georgia O'Keeffe and Ordinary Trauma, a memoir of her military childhood told through linked flash nonfiction. She teaches creative writing at Utah State University where she is a professor of English. All of her books work to reveal the extraordinary possibilities that arise in the most ordinary moments of our lives.

Born into a military family, Jennifer has lived all over the United States. While she considers Hawaii her first home, she has come to love northern Utah, where the mountains remind her of the ocean in the way they crest all around her.

Jennifer graduated from the University of Nebraska, the University of Hawaii, and the University of Michigan. She is married to the poet Michael Sowder, and they have two teenagers as well as a passel of animals.
