Jade Hidle (she/her/hers) is the proud Vietnamese-Irish-Norwegian daughter of a refugee. She is currently working on a memoir in verse, each piece addressed to someone who won’t remember her. Her poem, “To Laura Peña,” is about how a sixth-grade camp crush taught her more about science than any class could.
Her travel memoir, The Return to Viet Nam, was published by Transcurrent Press in 2016. Her work has also been featured in Southern Humanities Review, Poetry Northwest, Witness Magazine, Flash Fiction Magazine, The West Trade Review, Bangalore Review, Columbia Journal, New Delta Review, and the Diasporic Vietnamese Artists Network’s diacritics.org.
