Jen Siraganian’s debut collection, Everything Has Been Moved, Even the Dead was awarded the 2026 Perugia Press Prize and is forthcoming in September 2026. Using a docupoetic lens, the poet traces a self shaped by history, fragmentation, and memory as she weaves her family’s past in the Middle East with her identity as an Armenian-American woman and mother. Whether portraying a grandparent’s survival during the Armenian Genocide, a father’s childhood in 1940s Palestine, or a son’s birth when “death is a neighbor,” Siraganian’s poems interrogate concepts of home, origins, belonging, and displacement.
