Cut to Bloom by Noah Arhm Choi

Experience transformation with Noah Arhm Choi's Cut to Bloom, unlearning trauma to embrace the healing power of choice. 

This collection is a bold exploration that goes into the depths of healing and self-reinvention. Choi navigates the complicated intersection of Asian American identity, queerness, and violence, rejecting strict poetic form for a rogue bouquet. In Cut to Bloom, belonging is a riotous, constant journey.

he will become like the men in this poem,
and that no matter how rough the cut
there is a chance
for a bloom.
