How Does Your Identity Affect Your Work?

My Korean-American heritage is an integral part of my identity, and I am thankful to have the privilege to explore it through my poetry and short stories. I enjoy writing about the nuances of Asian-American identity, focusing on themes like nostalgia, family, and loss.
