On the publication of who’s to say what’s home.
I’m beyond excited to announce that my first collection of poems will be available next month!
It’s strange how these things come about.
My life in New York in 2006 was fairly routine—-at 4 am, I’d leave the bar, get on the subway, and manage to make my way home (eventually, due to the frequent “naps” I often involuntarily took on my return journey). One such night, after crawling my way up five flights of stairs and into my apartment, I sat down at my computer, clicked the wrong icon on my desktop, and accidentally signed into an ancient instant messaging application I hadn’t used in years. Before I could remedy the error, a long-lost friend and fellow poet, Chiwan Choi, greeted me.
Chi told me he’d been trying to reach me for some time—-he and his wife, Judy, were launching a publishing company called Writ Large Press, and they wanted to publish my work.
I had no idea how much that night would change my life. Before I knew it, I was on my way home to L.A., and on my way to realizing a lifelong dream.
This is a book that means the world to me. I’ve come a long way, and through a lot, during its creation and publication. I’m delighted to be able to finally share it with the world, and so grateful to everyone who’s believed in me, inspired me, and helped to make this possible.
