“Franny Choi wields words like muthaf*ckin machetes.”

— Angry Asian Man

“Franny Choi names and praises loss with striking wit and candor;

nothing stays gone. Her poems dare us all to live, live, live.”

 — Rachel McKibbens

“She creates a language that plays, mutates, borrows, defiles, and never

for a moment becomes too serious that it can’t laugh at itself.”

— Renee Gladman

“Since 2011, I have been tired of Franny Choi.”
