EVENT Magazine published three of my poems in “EVENT 51/3”: “rote,” “love is denying,” and “the unstoppable object meets the immovable force.” The first two poems are short reflections on intimacy, “rote” on longing and “love is denying”expresses the fear of changing something by interacting with it. The third poem explores a childhood memory twinged with both guilt and joy.

Massive thank you to the editors at EVENT for publishing my poetry again! I worked with Joanne Arnott and Shashi Bhat on these pieces. I would also like to thank artist Joy Li for creating the beautiful accompanying illustration to “rote.”
