I am honored & thrilled to be taking part in Craig Thompson’s East Coast launch of Ginseng Roots, his vital, prescient, illuminating, pioneering sequel to his groundbreaking comics memoir Blankets. Craig’s work occupies a special place in my comics- obsessed heart: I credit my encounter with the latter title in 2003, followed later that year by my heartstopping absorption of Goodbye, Chunky Rice, his debut graphic work published in 1999, for furthering my own foray into comics poetry & 2021’s O.B.B., published by Nightboat Books. I hope to properly credit CT tomorrow night by way of introducing his talk/presentation, then leading a conversation/moderation of Q&A with the audience. Maraming salamat to host Sukhdev Sandhu of The Colloquium for Unpopular Culture for making this launch possible.
WHERE: Einstein Auditorium, NYU Steinhardt, 34 Stuyvesant Street (between 2nd & 3rd Avenue)
WHEN: Tuesday 29 April 2025, 7pm
FREE, open to the public. Non-NYU guests rsvp to [email protected]
Co-sponsored by Forbidden Planet NYC, who will make copies of Ginseng Roots available for purchase and signing 🙏🏽
Growing up in rural Wisconsin, Craig Thompson and his younger brother weeded and harvested ginseng during the summers. Wisconsin might have been the world's leading producer of ginseng, exporting much of it to China where it was prized for its medicinal benefits, but the work was gruelling and poorly paid. A dollar an hour. But one dollar was also the price of the comic books Craig loved. He had a dream: maybe, just maybe, he might become the kind of person who drew comics for a living - and, in doing so, leave behind working-class Wisconsin.
GINSENG ROOTS digs deep into the 300-year history of the ginseng trade, the gains and losses in the shift to industrial farming, the complex legacies of empire. Deeply personal, it's a timely book that casts a compassionate eye at the struggles of working-class America and the travails of migrant labourers. Joe Sacco calls it "a sweeping story, gorgeously drawn and beautifully told - this is Craig Thompson's masterpiece."
This evening will feature live readings, visual presentations and an in-depth conversation between Thompson and Paolo Javier, a poet and artist who also uses the comics medium to stress-test the limits of storytelling, memory and political identity.

Poets, editors and publishers Louis Cabri, Rob Manery and Nicole Markotić will discuss their efforts to torque into being poetic communities, to reimagine and varispeed the relationships between form, publishing and public discourse. They will not-forget the congeries of avant-garde poetries that shaped their dreams: the TISH group of Vancouver-based writers inspired by Black Mountain poetics and formed after the Vancouver Poetry Conference of 1963; the Toronto Research Project of bp nichol and Steve McCaffery which published small ephemera reports and essays that suggested new avenues for collaboration; the Kootenay School of Writing, a Vancouver-based writers collective whose aesthetics and ethos chimed with Language poetry communities in New York and San Francisco.

Honored to see my cinepoetry collaboration with Lynne Sachs included in a program of films by several big time film idols of mine, including Tiffany Sia, Chris Marker, and Jane Campion. “Starfish Aorta Colossus” adapts the serial poem of the same name appearing in my 2015 book ‘Court of the Dragon’ (Nightboat Books). I made the poem in tribute of the late poet+chef Frank Lima, who was my mentor & friend. Please check out the program, & thank you for your watching!

Tumblr Peeps—I invite you, your friends & loved ones to the launch of my new volume of poetry, Near Your Mirror Home (Stay On), out now from Poets of Queens. Ive long wanted to publish a book of dream poems, a genre Ive always written in but rarely published. This new volume debuts my ongoing experiment with the short, serial dream poem, and is paired with a long cri against anti AAPI hate, inspired by the poetry of Faye Chiang, Frances Chung, Amiri Baraka, & Jayne Cortez; Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’; Christina Noll’s journalism; & the example of NY AG Tish James.
During the launch, I will be joined by Queens authors Pichchenda Bao & Emmy Catedral. As well, attendees will have the opportunity to sign up for and take part in a FREE self defense workshop facilitated by Deena Hadhoud of Malikah, an anti violence organization based in Queens. ✊🏽
Finally, there will be a mini fair after the readings with representatives from local non-profit organizations committed to art & action: Kimberly Powell (@asiansfightinginjustice), Sarinya Srisakul (@angryasianwomxn), Chong Gu (@redcanarysong), Ming Lin (@canal_street_research), & Natalie Bedon (@flushing_town_hall).
Copies of Near Your Mirror Home (Stay On) will be available for purchase at the launch. 👍🏽 For folx unable to attend but would like to order a copy, please click the link on my profile. Thank you for your support of experimental poetry, & I hope you will join us on the 17th! 🙏🏽
