Dear Readers,
Thanks for supporting my book. It means the world to me. I hope you’re taking good care during these times.
Please join me for some virtual readings:
April 5th at 1pm PST with Bowery Poetry Club on Instagram Live. Follow us at @monicajuice and @bowerypoetry.
April 10th at 6pm PST with Claire Meuschke, Taneum Bambrick, and Safia Elhillo. Women and nonbinary folks, register for free: The Ruby SF.
Events through May 15th are officially cancelled and will be rescheduled. I will continue to post updates about events scheduled for June 16th in LA and June 18th in Long Beach.
You may order my book here and support your local indie bookstore! You may also listen to my reading in Tucson thanks to the Poetry Center at the University of Arizona (the first stop on my tour). I’m also excited to share a video of my book launch in Oakland, which my Khmer language teacher, Marlai Ouch, filmed on her phone. My book launch was one of the happiest gatherings of my life, and I hope this clip brings you joy.
Thank you so much for reading my work. Be safe and be well. Sending good energy your way.
Much love,
Monica Sok
