no I am not at AWP (& honestly the FOMO is SO REAL) but I somehow received this very special message from THE JANE WONG whose Tin House memoir I absolutely DEVOURED like a chicken wing… 😭😭😭 courtesy of Shze-Hui Tjoa who introduced me to Jane as her biggest fan in Singapore…

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

A poem about queer joy reprinted in an anthology from my Alma mater. Inspired by Franny Choi’s “Science Fiction”. I also love dissing poor innocent straight people. 😆 #FuckAroundandFindOut

conservatism (the overreliance on familiarity) stems from fear, especially when the stakes for one's choices are high. the way to overcome that fear is not (just) risk assessment, but trust. trust that after the choice, it would be better. that's liberty.

I find that the best books are the ones where you can see sentences sommersaulting words on a page like they’re flipping soufflé omelets… every single page, every single sentence.

This ironically has been the year I found poetry again. Even if the poems aren’t perfect.

one of my favorite, favorite short poems
Ars Poetica
by Aracelis Girmay

May the poems be 
the little snail’s trail. 

Everywhere I go, 
every inch: quiet record

of the foot’s silver prayer.
	I lived once. 
	Thank you. 
	It was here.

gosh i really need to pursue the creative writing opportunities in the US. i just need to. Singapore is not only dry but too interpersonally political. Miss maam I'm gonna write about d*ck and c*ck in my poems and the people here write about Thursday afternoons and elderly care.

Finished Jane Wong’s memoir last night and I was crying-laughing my way to sleep. It’s so beautiful, like looking into a mirror of my own life, and I’m sad I can’t experience it for the first time again.

A vivid, abstract art piece. Bright orange pigment forms a rectangular block with fluid edges. Black pigment melts into the top edge. The block is gashed by strokes of pink which are—in turn—slashed with smaller, linear strokes of black.
