secondary sources that are
independent of the subject (see the

Jennifer ("Jenn") Givhan is a Mexican-American and Indigenous poet and novelist from the Southwestern United States. [1] She is the author of five full-length poetry collections and three novels and a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship [2] and a PEN/Rosenthal Emerging Voices fellowship. [3] Her novel Trinity Sight won The Southwest Book Award in 2020. [4]
Givhan grew up on the Mexicali border in the Imperial Valley of Southern California, near the Salton Sea. [5] She often writes about her "borderland identity" but broadens her narratives to resonate with anyone who has inhabited a liminal space between two cultures as Givhan grapples with both historical and personal pain from the past and demonstrates a yearning for a sense of belonging. She addresses "hijas wandering in their own deserts" to inspire and empower the women in the borderlands to and for whom she writes. [6]
She holds an MFA from Warren Wilson College and an MA in English literature from California State University Fullerton. [7] She lives with her family in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Much of Givhan's poetry explores mother-daughter relationships, offering a broader and more inclusive understanding of motherhood that encompasses diverse caregiving roles. Her work addresses traditional definitions of motherhood, emphasizing empathy and intersectionality. Drawing from her Mexican heritage and family background, she incorporates cultural elements into her work. Givhan's poetry and prose often engage with social issues and highlight marginalized voices.
