Calling poets, translators, and all lovers of language! Join us to celebrate #NationalPoetryMonth and Selected Translations—it includes poems from more than 40 poets from all over the world & is testimony to a life dedicated to the pursuit of beauty through poetry in translation.

Very excited to share the 7th episode with @DeeshaPhilyaw who offers nuance as an alternative to binaries, careful critiques on the church, relationships, + absence of moralizing judgments. So sorry for loudly shrieking, Deesha, when you mentioned Olivia. https://t.co/o1mMcyS2Qy

"It’s difficult to describe anti-Asian racism when society lacks a coherent, historical acct of what that racism actually looks like...The wave in question isn’t just two or three incidents. It’s a broader history that stretches past Trump & the pandemic." Let's make it legible.

Pls support Asian American groups in #Atlanta like @AAAJ_Atlanta who are in rapid response mode. The context of the #Atlanta shootings can't be missed. At a time of increasing hate targeting Asian Americans, Asian women are twice as likely to experience hate.

It was such a pleasure to discuss Inheritors on Critical Literary Consumption, a podcast that engages with writers and academics about a range of timely topics around writing, reading, and related textual issues. Thank you, @anannadroid, for the rich, textured conversation!

Fukushima's 10th anniversary: I'm put in mind of Hideo Furukawa's HORSES, HORSES, IN THE END THE LIGHT REMAINS PURE, a novel that journeys to the wreckage, the trip an excavation of Japan's imperial history. I admired this slim, complex work. @ColumbiaUP

Congratulations, @DeeshaPhilyaw!

Calling translators of Japanese literature! Working on an as-yet-unpublished project? Submit it to the 2021 Kyoko Selden Memorial Translation Prize from the Department of Asian Studies @Cornell by August 1! Find out more here: https://t.co/pTXc2mgduz

Startling to get the mail to discover a review of Inheritors in the NYRB! I'm full of gratitude for the space given to my book -- thank you, @nybooks, and thank you, Tash Aw. https://t.co/u95CxwjqSx

And here are letters in The Asia-Pacific Journal from historians about Ramseyer's dubious "Comfort Women" article.

Here is an an illuminating thread on Ramseyer's previous suspect scholarship:

This recent uproar over Harvard Prof J. Mark Ramseyer's unconscionable "Comfort Women" article is truly disheartening. An incisive New Yorker piece by @JeannieSGersen:

Super pleased to be reading and talking with literary and cultural critic Maria Koundoura on Monday, March 1, 6:00PM EST at @Emerson_WLP. It's free, open to the public, and virtual (and we'll be taking questions!). Please join us:

"How can we create fictions which pretend that there are always solutions, that there is actually closure, that life isn’t unpredictable and illogical much of the time?" Intriguing piece by @briancastleber5 on Nicola Barker, narrative forms, and writing in/through uncertainty.

"As long as white supremacy is permitted to perpetuate a divide between Asian-Americans and Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, we can make no real progress against our common oppressor." Visceral reflection by @QianJulieWang on anti-Asian hate in America.

Share some ♥️ today, and if you can, help refugee families this winter—join me in donating monthly to @RESCUEorg. The International Rescue Committee helps those shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and regain control of their future.

This is super important -- please read this thread on the ongoing anti-Korean hate activities of the Japanese ultra-right. To repeat @graceting, there's international interest in sexism in Japan right now, but that's not the only problem.

Enormous thank you to @PENamerica and the Open Book Award judges. Thrilled that Inheritors is a finalist -- congratulations to all!
