Julliana (Yanni) Santos
I'm a writer and poet based in Toronto. Currently, I'm working on some zine/chapbook projects involving linocut printing and pop-up paper techniques. I am also working as an intern for Coach House Books.
About my work
You can find my current projects on my Instagram profile (website pending!). You can also find my previous work in literary journals such as the Trinity Review, Goose: An Annual Review of Short Fiction, the UC Review, and at Glad Day Lit. I've also written a few book reviews, news articles, and reflections on art and spirituality in The Mike newspaper.

What you should know
Some Filipino writers who inspire me: Catherine Hernandez (for her deep commitment to community and "kapwa"), Gina Apostol (for her dedication to pushing the boundaries of form), Martin Manalansan (who has shown me the richness in queer "mess"), and the bands Ben&Ben (whose lyricism astounds me every day) and the Eraserheads (because...of course!)
