Agni + Gulf Coast publications!

Hana and her copy of Gulf Coast!

I’m belated as usual, but I’m very happy to share that I had two poems published in the Spring 2023 issue of Agni (one of which is published online here), and one long poem, a retelling of Yé Xiàn, the origin story for Cinderella, in the Winter/Spring 2024 issue of Gulf Coast. Both of these journals are dream publications for me, so I’m really happy these poems found their homes there.

Myself and fellow inclusion interns Teri Vela, Priscilla Wathington, and Rowan Sharp.

I also completed not one, but three residencies at Warren Wilson since the first one in the US summer of 2022, and am currently working on my thesis manuscript. It’s been a life-changing experience so far, and includes some amazing DEIB work as an Inclusion Intern (pictured above). While I’m sad to step down for health reasons, I’m looking forward to producing some exciting new work as well as some critical craft lectures for my final semester.
