Jennifer Sinor

Jennifer Sinor is the author of The Extraordinary Work of Ordinary Writing and the coeditor of a collection of essays on place. Her work has appeared in the American Scholar, Fourth Genre, Brevity, and elsewhere. She is an associate professor of creative writing at Utah State University. Perhaps because Sinor spent most of her childhood in Hawaii, she is drawn to the Great Salt Lake, whose expanses and shifting shoreline remind her of the sea.
