The series CHINESE KOMBUCHAS consists of chapbooks Unsaid, Petrichor, and No Pouting.
Petrichor
First published as a short story in UK magazine La Piccioletta Barca, Petrichor pulls at a family's ties in the face of a devastating illness that redounds throughout their kinship structure. The hybrid narrative juxtaposes Western art from the National Gallery of Art with 135mm film photographs of contemporary China—gesturing toward a universal humanity shared by the ailing and the well, while encouraging us to find our supportive role in the mental health discourse of our communities.
