I’ve been in love with this journal ever since reading Brenda Miller’s “The Case Against Metaphor” in a dusty copy I found on the sixth floor of Pitt’s Cathedral of Learning back in 2004. Two decades later, I’m thrilled to say I have an essay in the current issue of Fourth Genre. It’s about adoption secrets and being Asian American during the pandemic.

Even cooler, I’m published alongside Pitt professor Marissa Landrigan, whose lyric essay effortlessly and gracefully connects childbirth, physical/personal space, and birds.
