*Putsata Reang* is an author and journalist whose writings have appeared 
in a variety of national and international publications, including the 
/New York Times/, /Politico/, the /Guardian/, /Ms/, /The Seattle Times/ 
and the /San Jose Mercury News/.

Putsata was born in Cambodia, and raised in rural Oregon, surrounded by 
berry farms where she and her family hustled to earn their middle class 
existence. Her memoir explores the glades of displacement felt by 
children of refugees, and the overlay of emotional exile that comes with 
being gay.

Putsata has lived and worked in more than a dozen countries, including 
Cambodia, Afghanistan and Thailand. She is an alum of Hedgebrook, 
Mineral School and Kimmel Harding Nelson residencies. She is a 2019 Jack 
Straw fellow. In 2005, she received an Alicia Patterson Journalism 
Fellowship that took her back to Cambodia to report on landless farmers. 
She currently teaches memoir writing at the University of Washington 
School of Professional & Continuing Education.
