My cross-genre poem-essay “Materials” was just published in Lantern Review: A Journal of Asian American poetry, along with many beloved and admired poets like Janine Joseph, Tim Yu, and R.A. Villanueva! Special thanks to editors Iris Law for putting together such an amazing issue and supporting experimental poetry! Its really a honor to be included as Lantern Review does so much vital work for Asian American Arts and Letters today!

Glitter Tongue is an online collection of love poems by thirty queer and trans poets, launching Valentines Day 2012. It grew out of a collective writing effort among Margaret Rhee, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Tamiko Beyer, Oliver Bendorf, Meg Day, and Ching-In Chen.
dear university, im thoroughly upset and disgusted by all your violence and oppression. many students are activists, not just for you, but issues beyond campus borders. i urge you to get your shit together, because we have work to do: jails to dismantle, militarism to stop, partitions to bridge, poems to write, queers to love. education should be free, and liberatory. generative, fun, and safe. but we all know, this is not always the case.
signed, fuck you, i was never was in love with you anyway.
We’re truly thrilled to present and screen From the Center Digital Stories at HASTAC conference, 2011! As a feminist pedagogical intervention through constructionist learning, women incarcerated in the San Francisco Jail created their own digital stories on HIV/AIDS. I will be presenting with my collaborators, Isela Gonzalez and Allyse Gray of Forensic AIDS Project, Dept of Public Health. The conference will be a generative space to share and converse about all the digital humanities + community work. It looks like an amazing lineup of panels, presentations, and keynotes! Please check out the schedule, via the url above! More information forthcoming.
HASTAC co-founder Cathy Davidson has more compelling information on what the conference is all about, ie not a conference but an academic makeover! Please see this link below,
