Find Each Crumbling House from Perugia Press.
I am still a little speechless and very thrilled to be among this group of writers and artists. Thank you to the Sustainable Arts Foundation for this incredible gift of time and writing.
My chapbook, The Convert’s Heart is Good to Eat, is forthcoming from Driftwood Press in 2022. I’m excited to be working with Jerrod Schwarz to create the book, and to share it when it’s published.
My essay, “Two Adoptions,” appears in the May 2021 issue of Commonweal Magazine.
I was delighted to review Jia Lynn Yang’s book, One Mighty and Irresistible Tide, for Commonweal Magazine. Her vivid, deeply human, and sweeping history of the decades leading up to President Johnson signing of the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act is a must-read.
I published 2 new pieces in Commonweal. The first is a review of books, Chinese American fiction and memoir, called “Tales of Assimilation.” The second is a memoir piece called “Language and Conversion.”
If you’re in Chicago, come by for some poetry!
A huge thank you to Subterranean Books on Delmar, our five amazing Kundiman Midwest poets, (L to R) Mikkel Snyder, Rachel Ronquillo-Gray, Helene Achanzar, Hyejung Kook, Eugene Gloria, and myself.
Special gratitude to Katherine Witzig, our delightful accommodations host.
The reading was packed, the words were lyrical, piercing, hilarious, and breathtaking. We hope to do it again very soon!
