About the Author

Jen Chen-Su Huang is a Taiwanese-American writer and scholar whose work delves into the intricate intersections of memory, migration, and material culture. Drawing from her heritage and experiences navigating cultural displacements, Huang crafts narratives that explore themes of grief, resilience, and identity through the lens of everyday objects and traditions. Her debut book, On Loss and Absence: Textiles of Mourning and Survival, examines the symbolic power of textiles in processing personal and collective loss, blending memoir, cultural critique, and historical reflection. A former curator and educator, Huang's writing has appeared in literary journals and anthologies focused on Asian diaspora studies. She currently resides in New York City, where she continues to weave stories that honor the unspoken threads of human endurance.
