Deborah Jang

Deborah Jang is a poet and visual artist living and working in Denver, Colorado, and Oceanside, California. In her first book, Float True, she reflects on a long, quiet life full of curiosities, perplexities, and good fortune. A third-generation Asian American woman from the West coast, she honors her ancestors and descendants in their unique yet universal stories of persistence. She embraces all peoples' respective struggles for freedom and justice, now and for generations beyond. She offers her her poems into an aching world as an act of courage, compassion, and celebration.
