Jenny Siler

Jenny Siler grew up in Missoula, Montana. For much of her life, she has traveled and worked her way around the world, starting as a prep cook in the scullery of a men's soup kitchen, through working in a fish cannery in Alaska pulling salmon roe, to being a nude sketch model at an art museum in Frankfurt. Her work, she says, has defined her and her writing.
