An excerpt of “Our Blood Spans Continents” from my 2018 poetry pamphlet, BLACKBIRDS.

I am the son of Spanish and Portuguese immigrants.

I am a Canadian adoptee of Cambodian refugee ancestry.

I stand with refugees this #WorldRefugeeDay and #WorldRefugeeWeek.

Our 5 foster squirrels have been getting bigger & stronger.

They’ll be leaving us to go to a more rural area next week & handed off to someone who has experience releasing squirrels back into the wild.

We’ll miss them!

Like so many who have been following the anglerfish story, I have been captivated by the mystery of her swimming towards the sun before passing away.

This is from my first book, The Emperor’s Sofa (DC Books, 2010). May we look towards the light when surrounded by darkness. ✨
