Jiwon Choi

Jiwon Choi is a poet who struggles to identify and name emotions that remain unnamed and unrevealed from childhood experiences and traumas in order to become the fully actualized human she knows she can be.  Choi is the author of One Daughter is Worth Ten Sons and I Used To Be Korean and her third poetry collection, A Temporary Dwelling, will be coming out from Spuyten Duyvil in 2024.  She started her community garden’s first poetry reading series, Poets Read in the Garden, to support local writers during the early Covid years.  She is also Co-editor at Hanging Loose Press.  You can find out more about her at iusedtobekorean.com.
