Sophia Terazawa writes prose, poetry, and performance scores that investigate colonial memory, intergenerational haunting, and the incantatory possibilities of hybrid forms. Her debut novel, Tetra Nova (Deep Vellum, 2025)—a polyvocal fiction that moves between a mother’s exile from Saigon and a daughter’s reckoning in the American present—was adapted into a full ballet with the Roanoke Ballet Theatre and launched at Café OTO in London. She is also the author of three poetry collections, most recently Oracular Maladies (Noemi Press, 2026). She currently teaches in the MFA Creative Writing Program at Virginia Tech.
