I’ve been learning how to make chlorophyll prints using the basics of sunshine and nature.

I’ll be performing in the Poets in the Park Festival in Redmond on July 15 at 2:30 pm. I commissioned songs from Tomo Nakayama and Tom Rorem and we will perform them. Drop by Anderson Park at 7802 168th Ave NE.

Not sure when I was added to their database, but I now have a profile page at the Poetry Foundation website.

Thanks to Seattle Theatre Works and Fox Rain Matthews for this short feature interview.

I was commissioned to write a poem based on the work of artist Michelle de la Vega for this program. Performances upcoming next week.

Abby Ronner wrote up a quick piece on my work for the Creators channel at Vice Magazine.

Thanks to Tod Marshall for including me in his Washington State anthology of poetry WA129.

Poets & Writers funded a couple of readings that I did in the Seattle area this spring and asked me to blog about the experiences.

I’m very proud of the work that I did with Jack Straw last year and this podcast wherein I speak on identity, culture, motherhood and community and share the story of my first journey to Taiwan nearly 20 years ago.

In December, Jack Straw sponsored its last event of the 2016 writers in residence program. Writers were partnered with songwriters and I had a chance to work with Seattle musician Tai Shan. Tai wrote a piece based on my essay in the Jack Straw anthology and stories that I shared with her about my ancestors. We performed the piece together onstage.
