Born and raised in Korea, Siyon is a lifelong wanderer whose penchant for exploration and new sights has taken her to middle-of-nowhere New Hampshire for her undergraduate degree, Upstate New York for her Master of Finer Arts in Creative Writing, and now Central Florida, where she is building a life with her husband, daughter, and two Boston Terriers.

Her writing is concerned with matrescence and the female experience from girlhood to womanhood, queerness, her personal journey of migration from Korea to America, and the natural world — it’s beauty, terror, and hope. Her writing has received support from the Lambda Literary Writer’s Retreat, Atlantic Center for the Arts, and Mendocino Coast Writers’ Conference.
