After such a historic week at the polls, from which some tectonic shift at least feels plausible ahead, it was incredibly moving to be recognized with the Nashville Literary Award by the Nashville Public Library—libraries being to me the communal sanctuaries of civic reclamation and cultural salvage, and are truly foundational to the democratic process. So wild that this portrait by Michael Shane Neal will join the hall of faces—John Irving, Ann Patchett, Margaret Atwood, Colson Whitehead, and Louise Erdrich—I’ve so often looked up to as I scribbled away on my own books. But what’s more surreal is that, through the entangled triumphs and tragedies of history, 162 years ago, two of my 3rd great uncles helped defend Nashville against the final Confederate assault on the south, losing their lives to protect the city. Visiting their graves yesterday, I felt both pride and immense sadness, that in their quest to suture this country and free bounded human beings, they never returned home, and to this day their bones are stuck in the ground in Tennessee. I want to accept this great honor on behalf of Privates John and Daniel Kellems of the 81st Indiana Volunteers of the Army of the Cumberland, which rebuked and collapsed Confederate General John Bell Hood’s left flank on December 15 1864, culminating in Robert E. Lee’s surrender four months later at Appomattox. Thank you to the city of Nashville and its librarians and, on behalf of these men, You’re welcome 😚 Also, how else to greet your ancestors than with a proper Vietnamese squat at the national cemetery? 🙏🏼 ✨ 08 Nov 2026

i love being a nerd 🤓 05 Sep 2026

you are a singular, generational talent. i cried through this show with bated breath. but it was most touching to see how much your voice meant to the people in the audience, most of whom were Spanish speakers from all over the world. what it meant to sing along, in Boston, in one’s mother tongue, with all its historic complexities, centered, in addition to the other 12 languages sung through the night. it was so powerful to feel this relief and dignity, even vicariously, through the surge of human joy around me. thank you @rosalia.vt for having me. but also for your immense grace, strength, and heart. I am so moved. “I will demolish hell for you” — “La Yugular”, LUX 🎥: @g.ngrau 12 Jun 2026

Last week, I had the immense honor of receiving the Belle Van Zuylen Ring, a literary award given for works of social consciousness bestowed each year by the municipality of Utrecht, Netherlands. Previous winners include Margaret Atwood, Elena Ferante, and Svetlana Alexievich. To say I am gobsmacked to be in such company is an understatement. In the spirit of the award, and on occasion of the ceremony, I gave a lecture titled the “The Politics of Style: formal disobedience as method”. At the close of the lecture, I announced my donation of $8k to the P***stine Children’s Relief Fund, modeled after the Buddhist 8-fold path toward liberation from suffering in all realms of samsara. Since arriving home, I rounded it to 10k because…well—why not? This is but a small gesture in the face of immense loss and pain. Lord knows the children need it more than I can ever imagine—and I’m sure I don’t even know the half of it. As my brother and teacher Thay @phaphuu taught me, “When you get blessings, immediately return them to the world, or else they die inside you.” Historically, thousands of words: manifestos, speeches, even books, have been made to convince people to go to war, to kill one another. But despite being someone whose livelihood depends on words, I believe there needs no linguistic justification to do what is right. As a human being who has eyes to see and a nervous system from which to experience the world, this is what I feel, in my heart, to be the right thing to do. Thank you. 💕 📸 @maarten_mooijman 02 Oct 2025

i’m at a loss for words. thank you thank you thank you for putting a book about—of all things—Asian American sadness and joy, working people without poverty porn or cathartic rags-to-riches escape plots, on #2 of The New York Times bestsellers list. that is all. last slide: my dear friend, the great @joshokeefeofficial singing my favorite rendition of “the parting glass”, a song featured in the novel, which says more than i can right now. 🧡🖤💛 22 May 2025

10 years ago today. Staring at the manuscript for my first book, Night Sky with Exit Wounds, in utter frustration, disgust, and what seemed like an insurmountable sense of failure. I swear, you look at something long enough, even something you’re proud of, and it starts to wither right before your eyes. After working on it for seven years, I was never prepared, baby poet that I was, to arrive at a moment where I just wanted to scrape it all away, start over and cleanse myself of all the things I felt was wrong with it. I think I would have done so if I wasn’t so exhausted, having stayed up into the wee hours trying to “make it right”. The very next day, in what seemed like a sequence from the most melodramatic, saccharine movie ever, I got a call from @copper_canyon_press (while on the train to my first class in grad school) saying they wanted to publish it, having sent it to them nearly a year ago and thinking it was lost in the mail. Some things are so corny you couldn’t put them into art—and yet they arrive, in all their contrived serendipity, right before you. The truth is I kept the book as it was not because I was happy with it—but because I respected the editors’ faith in it. It’s possible, I learned then, to work on something for so long, with so much obsessive, at times maniacal, care, and still not truly “know” it. Could the final state of a work be so arbitrary, wherein what gets sent into the world has nothing to do with excellence or achievement or internal triumph—but rather, love? Your bewildered love of and for others, for the vocation itself, that allows you, not so much to complete something, but simply hand it off the moment you are called forth? When you are summoned, despite yourself? Anyway. What a ride this decisive moment has taken me. Thanks for coming along. And thanks to Peter for snapping this photo, who was probably just trying to document my grumpiness! 🌱 31 Aug 2024
