Eric Akoto at Litro Magazine UK published my most recent essay, “How I Love You,” on January 11th, 2025 for the Editor’s Pick, Essay Saturday feature of the website. I’m grateful that Eric and his team provided a home for this essay and I was overjoyed when I read their description of my essay as “a meditation on love, mortality, and existential fear.” The essay is all of these things, and if you take the time to read it, I hope you understand that it is ultimately a love letter written in a strange and discomfiting form.

The Inquisitive Eater, an online publication run by the Creative Writing Program at The New School, published my most recent essay, “Ready to Gorge,” on June 20th, 2024. The essay focuses on beef intestines and other seemingly disgusting Korean meats. Special thanks to Nonfiction Editor Christine Ro for help with this essay. The Inquisitive Eater publishes online year-round. If you like my essay also check out Hannah Walhout’s amazing 2023 essay “Year of The Egg.”
