@GraceLP@catielila@karissachen@dearclarissa @ChiehLanTang There’s a FB group called “Writing in Taiwanese POJ” that you might be able to inquire within. I recognize some names of folks who teach.
I wish I had recorded the conversations from this @taiwaneseam_org dinner table—so engaging, thoughtful, supportive, & synergistic. What an amazingly talented & accomplished group of Taiwanese American writers, authors, educators, and storytellers! #awp2023
Had the honor of meeting Taiwan's ambassador @bikhim and former Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano today.
What did we talk about? US-Taiwan technological cooperation and #semiconductors, of course.
She is a favorite to become the next Vice President of Taiwan.
@TaiwaneseAm_org founder @hochie71 shared his thoughts with @guardian -- “This echoes much of the issues that America as a whole has had to deal with: gun violence, race relations and the effects of misinformation.”

34 years ago today Taiwan’s Martial Law was lifted, marking Taiwan’s democratization. Today, we should also commemorate the courageous activists who were blacklisted by the authoritarian gov’t, who gave up their freedom and lives to make Taiwan the vibrant democracy it is today.

I love this—An Asian American 2nd gen must-read. There are so many thoughts in @kuokuomich’s piece that I could never put into words myself, but as I read it, I keep saying to myself, “omg that’s me.”
I'm turning 40 this year & moving to Taiwan. Writing this piece forced me to work through so many uncomfortable issues: status anxiety, impasses in marriage, my American insularism, & hierarchical assumptions that the way upward is from East to West. https://t.co/lgV0dpCUTy
