“Hiroshima No Pika” by Toshi Maruki
Don’t forget to put some kind of excerpt here! Use it for social media.
“Buja’s Diary” by Seyeong O

“The Argonauts” by Maggie Nelson
A powerful and intimate autobiographical exploration of motherhood, writing, sexuality, and relationships alongside theory–“autotheory”–from poet Nelson: more than worth the read, it’s a necessary evolution for scholarly writing.
