My poetry book How to Love the World won Pank's 2019 Big Book Poetry Contest and was a finalist of the 2020 National Jewish Book Award.
Through these poems, I retrace my mother’s journey to New York City in the summer of '89 as a Jewish-Uyghur refugee, while very pregnant with me. Traveling alone, my mother gives birth to me along the way.
You can find select poems from the project in the links below.
