Jan Marin Tramontano is a poet and novelist. She wrote three poetry chapbooks, Woman Sitting in a Café and other poems of Paris, Floating Islands: New and Collected Poems, and Paternal Nocturne.

What Love Becomes, published by Adelaide Books in 2019, is a novel about the choices we make, how they shape our lives, and how our innate resilience propels us toward reclaiming the lost parts of ourselves. Two stories from it have been published (Adelaide Literary Magazine and AOIS21). Standing on the Corner of Lost and Found, her debut novel, is a story about broken hearts and fragile dreams repaired through the indelible ties of friendship and family.

Her poems appear in her poetry collective’s anthology, Java Wednesdays and the Hudson Valley Writers Guild’s, Peer Glass Review. She’s had poems, stories, and book reviews published in numerous literary journals, magazines, and newspapers such as Poets Canvas, Up the River, Chronogram, Women’s Synergy, Knock, The DuPage Valley Review, and Moms Literary Review. In addition, her poems have won several poetry contests.

She belongs to the Marco Island Writers Association and served on the board, as program chair and contest administrator of the Hudson Valley Writers Guild. A longtime New Yorker, she now resides with her husband in Naples, Florida.
