E. J. Koh 고은지

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude to share this news. My debut novel THE LIBERATORS will be published @Tin_House summer/fall 2023.

Reading for the 2026 Washington State Book Awards. A small part of the hundreds of books written by WA authors––how much is being made around us. @WAStateLib #wastatebookawards

@thisisEJKoh From E. J.: Don Mee Choi's DMZ Colony is a book without which my novel The Liberators would not be possible. I often greet people who are curious about why I might go peering into the darkness, at the human atrocities we commit around the globe. (1/3)

Today’s poem is selected by E. J. Koh (@thisisEJKoh) as part of the 20th anniversary of Read A Little Poetry.

@YvonneLiuWriter It's been 9 years of writing letters. 💌

@thisisEJKoh This is so special!

I have handwritten 800 out of a thousand love letters to strangers. Just 200 to go. For a letter, a few steps at ejkoh.com.

@All__Incomplete Of course. I write them by hand, so just make sure to include an address that works for you!

@thisisEJKoh ...can I have one too, please?
