Hi,
I was just wondering where can I buy copies of your books? Too bad I only discovered you just now. The only thing I can get online is your latest book. 😦

Hi Dj, Thanks for getting in touch! My book out of UP Press (Dark Hours) is out of print, but I hear there are a few copies at the UP Press Bookstore (the only way to get a hold of copies is to go there, though). You can try emailing highchairorders@gmail.com for a copy of elsewhere held and lingered.
I just got word from Columbia University Press, which distributes for The Chinese University Press in North America. They’re offering my chapbook (Two or Three Things about Desire) as well as the anthology and boxed set of chapbooks from the Hong Kong poetry festival I attended last year at 30% off. Let me just copy the message I got in case you have use for it:
