About the Author
Cathy Song is an acclaimed poet whose work beautifully captures the nuances of Asian American identity, family dynamics, and the immigrant experience through vivid imagery and introspective verse. Born in Hawaii to Chinese and Korean parents, she draws deeply from her multicultural heritage to explore themes of displacement, belonging, and the quiet revelations of everyday life. Her poetry often blends personal memoir with cultural observation, creating a tapestry of emotions that resonate universally. A recipient of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award, Song's contributions to contemporary literature continue to illuminate the intersections of race, gender, and place, inviting readers to reflect on their own stories within the larger human narrative.
