Faculty

Jae Yeun Choi is currently visiting faculty in poetry at Occidental. She has taught at Reed College, Portland State University, and the University of Iowa. Her previous workshops and seminars have offered intensive study of the long poem, ekphrasis, the subversive power of chance, and the economic livelihood of the poet, among others. Her writing is informed by her engagement with her peers across disciplines, many of whom share practices grounded in an abiding respect for the smaller gesture. Her poems have appeared in PRESENCE, The Volta, NY Tyrant, A Plume Annual, Tin House, The Iowa Review, and Flying Object's It's My Decision series. Her chapbook Woman Carrying Thing was published by The Song Cave, and the split zine HONESTY/COMPLEY with Ethan Swan was published by F Magazine. Her poems have been presented also in exhibitions at 356 Mission, 3 Days Awake, Adams and Ollman, Lumber Room, Fourteen30 Contemporary, and Good Press Glasgow.
