ADVENT DAY 5 * ANNIE WON!
























 


Annie Won
ANNIE WON is a poet, yoga teacher, and medicinal chemist who resides in Somerville, MA. Annie is particularly interested in spaces of mind, body, and page. She is a Kundiman Fellow and a Juniper Writing Institute scholarship recipient. Her chapbook with Brenda Iijima, Once Upon a Building Block, published with Horse Less Press this summer, and her chapbook, so i can sleep, is forthcoming from Nous-Zot Press. Her work has appeared in Shampoo and RealPoetik, and is forthcoming from EAOGH, TheThePoetry, TENDE RLION, and New Delta Review. Her critical reviews can be seen at American Microreviews and Interviews.









Curatorial note: The following poems are a response to a call for poetry about rape culture for the annual Delirious Advent Feature; the call is in turn an immediate response to the Rolling Stone story “A Rape on Campus” about rape culture at the University of Virginia. However, they are also part of a larger conversation about rape in poetry communities. Curated by Jessica Smith and Susana Gardner.
