Patricia Sarrafian Ward was born and raised during the civil war in Beirut, Lebanon and moved to the States when she was 18. Much of her work explores themes of civilian wartime suffering, emigration, and tensions around nationality and identity. Her dad was American and her mom is Lebanese of Armenian/Danish heritage. Having grown up surrounded by the Armenian side of her family, she adopted my mother's maiden name, Sarrafian, as a way to honor that part of her life story.She got her MFA from University of Michigan and published many stories, poems, and essays, and then her first novel, The Bullet Collection. She wrote a few more novels that were not placed, and then, after her son was born, she decided to explore the world of book arts. For some years, she made miniature books and dioramas and enjoyed showing her work in a variety of venues both in the U.S. and abroad. Eventually, Skinner Luce was published, and she slowly turned back to writing full time. She still creates paper objects and recently has taken to sewing as well.
