Excited to be reading at Scuppernong Books in Greensboro this Sunday 4 p.m. with two extremely talented poet-friends @jamesjabarr @MichaelTPittard Come through for a coffee or beer and some lovely literature! cas.uncg.edu/event/joey-lew…

Stopped by to sign some copies of Insensible Losses at Green Apple Books - available now! First twenty with a signature, a thank you, and the satisfaction of buying local :)

@rplevin @UCSFMedicine @DukeSurgery Thank you so much Dr. Plevin!! I'm lucky to have you as a role model!

@UCSFMedicine students' talents extend so far beyond the hospital. @LewActually (@UCSFMedicine '23, current @DukeSurgery resident) just published a book of poetry examining her evolution in medicine. I'm in awe! 🎉🥳🙌

@chibaAkiko Thank you Dr. Chiba for your support!!

Very cool! Congratulations @LewActually 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Check our her recently published poetry collection! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 #scrubbedout

@eckhoff_austin Thank you Austin!! Means a lot coming from one of my role models! <3

I got a sneak peak on some of her poems - her arch from patient to doctor is both powerful in her words and in how she practices medicine!

@ScrubInBritt You are too kind - thank you Brittany!!

Joey is not only talented in every way, but kind and funny and thoughtful. Exactly what you want in a poet and a doctor. I can’t wait to read this! (Also the title - *chefs kiss*

To my tiny twitter audience, I wanted to share my debut poetry collection, Insensible Losses, which just came out for preorder from Nymeria Publishing: nymeriapublishing.com/insensible-los… It charts a course from patient to doctor, fear to joy (and more fear!)

Excited to have a couple of poems in the San Antonio Review this week! sareview.org

Feeling lucky in all things poem this week! Thrilled to have my poem "Overnight at the County Hospital" in the Fall 2020 issue of Semicolon: semicolonlit.org/issue-4 If you're feeling a poem or two, check it out!

Very excited to have my poem "one summer i studied liver transplant" in the new issue of One: #Joey%20Lew" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">one.jacarpress.com/?fbclid=IwAR3_… The whole issue is gorgeous and I've loved reading it--if you're looking to snuggle up with some poetry over the holidays I hope you'll take a peak! ❤
