NOW ON AAWW TV: KATE GAVINOâS ABCâS OF BEING AN ASIAN AMERICAN WRITER
I created this list. It is my ABCâs of being an Asian American writer, and like most things there is an asterisk to this. These are my ABCâs and everyone has their own alphabet so I donât expect this to be entirely universal, so I hope at least some of this is relatable.
So, I will start with âA,â which is for Ann M. Martin. She was the first author who introduced me to a three-dimensional, complex Asian American teenage girl in a book. And, I think that Claudia Kishi, the vice president of the Baby-Sitters Club, is probably the most complex mainstream depiction of an Asian American girl and Iâm still holding out for her â one as good as her.
And then thereâs âB,â which is for buddhas and chopsticks, which are two things that make me cringe when I see them on the cover of certain books and this long list includes everything from bowls of rice to dragon silhouettes to koi ponds.

In celebration of Nic Wongâs birthday (February 3rd), check out this beautiful review of CREVASSE that appeared in the Spring 2015 edition of The Asian American Literary Review!
â. . . Experimenting with a mixture of humor and pathos, the conceptual and the conversational, Wong circles solitude, the emotion perhaps best understood through invocations of absence. There is the impression a body leaves behind on a bed, a dramatic gap or hole in our lives, a hole through which we fall. Not only does Crevasse beg to be read, and read aloud, and read repeatedly, but as it embodies disturbance, desire, love, and loss, Crevasse demands to be inhabited: the gap closes, if only for as long as the book remains open, solid in your hands.â
Kaya Press is happy to announce that Cathy Linh Che will be joining our team as Publicity & Events Associate starting in January! Cathy is amazing poet and the Managing Director of Kundiman.

The acclaimed playwright talks with us about dystopias, utopias, reproductive rights, and bi-racial horror stories. The world that the play is set in is kind of a semi-dystopian society in terms of the deplorable state of reproductive rights; in opposition to that, what are some aspects that would be present in your utopian version of âŚ
