Tina Lentz-McMillan

Tina Lentz-McMillan is a Filipina/-American/Mestiza poet whose poetry centers mixed identity. Her current work focuses on how this identity can be othering from both sides and interrogates how colonialism can manifest as intergenerational trauma. Symbols manifest, recur, and change across her body of work to engage the reader in mythmaking. She lives in the lands of the Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui Tribe, also known as Tucson, Arizona with her partner and their dog and cat. Next creative steps are exploring a Borderless Poetic.
