She was born in Boston and lived in Brooklyn for many years before moving to Oakland, where she raised her daughter and met her foster son, who are the heart and soul of Wite Out, a book John Keene and Eileen Myles call a “masterpiece” and Norman Fischer calls “a gorgeous, courageous book.” (You can read excerpts from other reviews of Wite Out here.)

Her collages have appeared on the covers of her own books and books by Claudia Rankine, Julie Carr, and other writers.

Tommy Chou originally from Taiwan. I am 46 years old and have been living here in the US since 1977. I only recently started running almost 5 years ago. To be exact I started on 7/26/17. I got inspired after hooking up with an old classmate that I haven’t seen since grammar school. She was running with a couple of groups from Hoboken NJ and I got interested in checking them out. So, on 7/26/17 I did my first group run and from then on my running journey took off. Here is my pic that u requested for as well.
