Jennifer Givhan

Jennifer ("Jenn") Givhan is a Mexican-American and Indigenous poet and novelist from the Southwestern United States.[1][2][3] She is the author of five full-length poetry collections and three novels, and a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship[4] and a PEN/Rosenthal Emerging Voices fellowship.[5] Her novel Trinity Sight, won The Southwest Book Award in 2020.[6] Her newest poetry collection Belly to the Brutal (Wesleyan University Press) and novel River Woman, River Demon (Blackstone Publishing) both draw from her practice of brujería.[7][8]

River Woman, River Demon was chosen for Amazon’s Book Club "Sarah Selects,"[9] as a National Together We Read Library Pick,[10][11] and was featured on CBS Mornings.[12] Givhan's third novel also won a Silver Medal in the International Latino Book Award’s Rudolfo Anaya Latino-Focused Fiction category[13] and was a finalist for the Spur Award in Western Contemporary Fiction.[14] In a review of River Woman, River Demon, The San Diego-Union Tribune calls Givhan "a literary sorceress" who "throws poetry, magic, motherhood and misogyny into a cauldron, turns up the genre heat and lets it all boil."[15]

Her work has appeared in The Nation,[16] POETRY Magazine,[17] The New Republic,[18] Salon,[19] The Rumpus,[20] among many publications.[21]

Givhan has taught at the University of Washington Bothell’s MFA program as well as Western New Mexico University and has guest lectured at universities across the country. She is currently the Visiting Professor of Creative Writing at The University of New Mexico.[22]

Personal Life

Givhan grew up the Imperial Valley in Southern California, which gave her a "borderland identity," telling The Review Review, "As a person of mixed ethnicity, I’ve never completely fit in with any one culture. [...] The Valley was a microcosm of the divisive political climate we currently live in, so it offered training in resistance and survival."[23] She holds an MFA from Warren Wilson College and an MA in English literature from California State University Fullerton.[24] She lives with her family in New Mexico.

Themes

Much of Givhan's poetry focuses on mother-daughter relations, as well as the experience of being a mother and a daughter herself. When in an interview what she never tires of writing about, Givhan told Indiana Review, "Mother/child relationships & that kind of sticky love that keeps us hanging on when we’ve no other reason but love."[25]
