Our March issue of Guernica Magazine is here! I'm pleased to be publishing two dynamic stories. The great Itamar Vieira Junior's "Black Wing Dragging Across the Sand," in marvelous translation by Johnny Lorenz, is a dynamic, surprising Clarice Lispector homage guernicamag.com/black-wing-dra…

"The Smoke of the Land Went Up," by Andrew Cominelli, is dystopic, fast-paced, and sexually charged. It is the first story I've ever read about a New Orleans pedicab driver - which made sense when I found out that Andrew is a New Orleans pedicab driver! guernicamag.com/the-smoke-of-t…

March 5 is already a thrill a second. I may need to lie down a bit. Looking forward to reading these two pieces, coming to us from Adam Dalva and Guernica Magazine.

My short story "The Smoke of the Land Went Up" is in Guernica Magazine today. It's got sex, drugs, pedicabbing, a landscaping convention, and lots of dread. Huge thanks to editors Autumn Watts, Adam Dalva, and Ishita Marwah for getting this out into the world. guernicamag.com/the-smoke-of-t…

I HAVE A NEW PIECE IN Guernica Magazine!! “Arrivals and Departures” is an outtake from The Translator’s Daughter so you can *only read it here* plus it includes my absolute favorite photo of my parents on the day they returned to Taiwan, before I was born guernicamag.com/arrivals-and-d…

“And if I could, Mom, I’d return Ana to my warm, warm womb, & I’d carry her forever in this sick body of mine, just so I wouldn’t have to hurt you to get my hands on the key to an ossuary.” New fiction by Itamar Vieira Junior, translated by Johnny Lorenz. guernicamag.com/black-wing-dra…

“Like plastic that flung itself / into a fire, I think I am weeping.” Past isrāʾ يسرا's four-line poem “Glaze” haunts the questions, what do we choose, & how do we live with what we witness? guernicamag.com/glaze/

This was the life they had worked so hard for. All those years of education and sacrifice were paying off, finally, with a secure and comfortable life doing work that they loved. I love these essays being released with Grace Loh Prasad 駱信惠's book! Check out this one in Guernica Magazine!
