About meI'm the author of "The Lost Country of Sight" which won the 2007 Philip Levine Prize and was published in 2008 by Anhinga Press. At one point in time I was also a computer games programmer -- but I repented of that and pursued an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of California-Riverside instead. I'm currently working on a PhD in Literature & Creative Writing at USC. In my spare time, I edit and manage Boxcar Poetry Review (www.boxcarpoetry.com)

About my libraryMostly contemporary American and Canadian poetry, with a particular focus on Asian American poets and first books of poetry. I've also been building a collection of books related to poetry translation (especially translation of Chinese texts)
