Silent Neighborhoods Across New York
A poem about our two neighborhoods in New York and our experiences inhabiting the city in our own particular lenses.
Chatty Seagulls
Chatty seagulls is a poem about making every second of your life worthy.
The Ice Cliffs
The themes in this poem sparked from an adventure in Lake Placid when I was visiting with my family. We went on a frozen nature walk and saw these gigantic ice cliffs.
Me In The Eyes of 2020
Two perspectives on 2020, a year of change, growth, tragedy, and conflict.
Negativity Is Destruction
I was inspired by the illusions in my head as if there was a hamster in a wheel and it kept spinning. I felt that the only way to get the wheel to stop was to write my thoughts out on paper.
We are Girls from the East
The poem speaks to our shared history as Asian-American women, emphasizing a colonial past in China and India, our liberation, and the formation of new rituals between generations all through the lens of tea.
Finding Home
I started this piece after I went to the doctor’s office for the first time during COVID. I realized this would be the last time I would be in this small office because I’m turning 18 and next year I may be far from home because of college. It reminded me that I might not always have my mom by my side in places where you have to make important decisions or hear sensitive information. The possibility of being away from home for the first time made me wonder how my connection to myself and my family would change. This piece is about the worries of growing up, the changing bonds of family, and finding home when everything seems to be moving under your feet.
Unknown Identity
Teenagers oftentimes don't know themselves and are not well aware of their identity. This is a poem where I am exploring the different sides of my identity.
Whale, Well
A list of problems that increase in scale as we progress throughout the week. In a sense, they all reflect the world growing heavier to bear, an incessant drowning of some sort.
City Girl
This piece talks about my relationships with nature and my parents in order to explore my feelings toward living in New York City.
