Spread the news, far and wide! I don’t have an opening date yet but I’m hoping for late fall!

Is there a worse sentence than “Elon Musk, Logan Paul, J.K. Rowling and more have weighed in”
Elon Musk, Logan Paul, J.K. Rowling and more have weighed in about the “fairness” of letting Imane Khelif compete in the #ParisOlympics, with many seeming to believe she is a man. Khelif was raised and identifies as a female, and is not transgender hollywoodreporter.com/news/g…

My debut novel is available for preorder. I don't know about you but I get super anxious around publication time. Maybe it's because I put so much in Koan Khmer. My heart is in it.
Here's a blurb from kind & generous Lidia Yuknavitch. THX & Happy Friday!

The past few years have felt insurmountable, and I’ve often wondered why I—or any of us—write. To receive a 2024 National Endowment for the Arts fellowship from @NEAarts is absolutely surreal. I still can’t believe it. I’m not sure I ever will. arts.gov/impact/literary-art…

So grateful to have WLT nominated "How to Defeat Pol Pot" for the Pushcart. When I wrote this poem, I was thinking of ways survivors of the Cambodian Genocide help their children inherit our culture & history, including the genocide, in healthy & healing ways (1/2)
We’ve announced our 6 #PushcartPrize nominees! Read about our 3 poetry and 3 prose nominations, selected from over 200 contributors this year, WLT’s 97th year of continuous publication.

So very in love with this story Animal Moments by @bethmarcel in @TheSunMagazine, a fresh exploration of the postpartum experience

I have a new essay out today in @The_Rumpus that I’ve been working on for years. It’s about having a lot of complicated s-e-x in pay-by-the-hour hotels in my early 20s, among other things. I hope you’ll read it ❤️ therumpus.net/2023/11/21/tel…
