I’ll be partnering with community spaces around the country to raise funds for immigrant defense by offering arts workshops. I’m so thankful to Orca Books Cooperative in Olympia for serving as a site host and to Johnny Atlas for the coordination and friendship! 100% of the funds raised by this workshop will support the Northwest Immigrants Rights Project.

Towards an Earth Amplitude is an invitation to deepen our collective care and connection to the planet through a contemplative focus on gravity. It’s something I’ve been refining over the last few years and am excited to offer. I hope to help us root down and recognize our inherent indebtedness to this planet and to each other while conjuring forth a regenerated imagination so we can renew how we connect, create, and live together.

If you have any friends in Olympia, WA—please share!!

University of Nebraska, Lincoln |August 4-10, 2025

I’ll be an artist in residence this summer at the University of Nebraska to extend my investigation of grasslands as a textile collaboration—an adaptive weaving—between human desires and the environment. I’ll be making some video art and probably works on paper alongside writing.

I imagine August will be hot, muggy, a bit oppressive. When I imagine my time there, I will likely engage in crepuscular and nocturnal studies of the landscape.

I’ll be sharing some new writing at the Summer Writing Program at Naropa University. It’s incredible to be part of a literary community with such beautiful roots and get to connect with so many writers, thinkers, and artists.

I’m really excited to read with CA Conrad and Elizabeth Willis. The theme for this year’s program is The Living Thread, and I’ll be sharing as part of the week entitled There Is a World Elsewhere.

I’ll be collaborating with JungWoong Kim and several other artists as part of his ongoing improvisation series “What We Have That’s Enough,” hosted by Studio 34 where he’s currently in residence. My only directive? Arrive.

We explored themes of connection, disattention, familiarity, and celebration. I found we moved from solemnity to humor, with the always present risk and emergence of improvisation. I especially enjoyed seeing the audience respond to invitations to voice and engage.

Featuring Jungwoong Kim, Stephanie Turner, Sarah Konner, Dan Safer, Kendra Portier, David Brick, Germaine Ingram, and Juliette Lee; musicians Bhob Rainey and Juan Castrillón; plus special guest chef artist Morgan FitzPatrick Andrews.

I’m supporting a literary event for the Colorado Poets Center in Boulder and planning to share some new work in progress exploring climate, landscape, desire, and perception. The other authors are folks I’m familiar and quite friendly with but never read with… I’m really excited about the chance to hear them and spend time together!

Colorado Poets Center presents a poetry reading and open mic featuring Katerina Jeng, Nancy Viera, Eric Fischman, Alyse Knorr, Kate Partridge, Meca’Ayo Coleman, and Sueyeun Juliette Lee.

It’s been nearly 2 whole years since Aerial Concave Without Cloud came out with Nightboat Books. I neglected to share this interview I did with Snigdha Koirala. It was a beautiful conversation, and i’m grateful for how she captured it. ❤

I’ll be supporting EJ Koch’s book release in Olympia, WA at Orca Books In a few weeks! She’ll be reading from her new novel, The Liberators, and I’ll facilitate an author dialogue afterwards. I’m excited to get to see her and celebrate this beautiful achievement with her!

Tess Taylor reached out to me last spring to offer comments for a podcast she had been developing for the Getty Museum–the series was dedicated to exploring letters between artists. Tess, an incredible poet and builder of creative communities, reached out because she was seeking a writer’s perspective on the language of the letter, and thought I might have some personal resonances with him given my own Korean diaspora identity and because I, too, make video art. She wasn’t wrong!

Please check out the podcast here, and give the whole series a lesson. Tess’s research and care thoughtfully illuminates Nam June Paik in his historical context while pointing also to his beautiful singularity.

I’ll be supporting Lighthouse Writers Workshop’s Writing in Color Retreat, a convening designed to support Black, Indigenous, and other people of color writers. I’ll be on a panel devoted to publishing and will share a bit my experiences having my books published and working with various editors and publishers over the years.
