Sienna Tristen

Sienna Tristen is an author, poet, and literary organizer living in Treaty 3 territory who explores queer platonic partnership, the nonhuman world, and mythmaking in their work. The first installment of their award-winning fantasy duology “The Heretic’s Guide to Homecoming” came out from indie arts collective The Shale Project in 2018; the sequel is forthcoming in October 2022. You can find their poetry in Augur Magazine and Plenitude, and their chapbook “hortus animarum: a new herbal for the queer heart” from Frog Hollow Press. When the sun is up, they work with The Word On The Street Toronto to showcase the coolest Canadian & Indigenous literature.
