Hayden’s Ferry Review / Solid Objects Column Essay

The sea appears, unbidden, over and over again in my work. I can't help it. I also need to physically go to the water, regularly, once a week, to check in. Who am I today? What am I doing? Where is my body? Often if I can't find what I am looking for in writing, the only place I can answer this is at the shore.”

A Mouth Holds Many Things: A De-Canon Hybrid Literary Anthology / work included: Paint by Number 1 (Outside Songshan Airport, 1969), Is This Your Mother?

I often push toward fragment / image / hybridity to make visible the gaps in between. Much of my work emerges from deep silences in my family for which there is no model for clarity.
