Sarena Tien is a queer Chinese American writer and feminist who is currently a PhD student in French Literature at Cornell University. She used to be so shy that two teachers once argued whether she was a “low talker” or “no talker,” but she's since learned how to scream. Her poetry and prose have appeared in publications such as Transitions Abroad, The Feminist Wire, Bustle, Decoded Pride, Sylvia, and The Secrets We Keep: An Anthology of Extraordinary Women.
