I have a poem in the new @new-sinews.bsky.social, thanks to @illepitaph.bsky.social. The poem β Grains of Rice β is long, complicated; traces inheritances, internalizations, and overlapping violences in my family's history (in Guangzhou, Hiroshima); and takes place at a Wendy's in New Jersey.

coolly compulsive neo-epistolary novel ... chockfull of comically curlicuing texture ... with the amazingly assured artificiality of the "letter-ness" branching into all manner of reverberant riffs regarding the present day's ridiculousness
