Based on the Soochow Astronomical Chart of 1193, this planisphere depicts the Chinese night sky as seen from the northern hemisphere. To view the stars, turn the disc to align the desired date with the hour of night. Face south and hold the planisphere overhead with the corner marked North facing north. The map will reveal a celestial poem that awaits you among the asterisms. Let the eyes wanter and read aloud to someone dear.

Monica Ong is a visual poet and the author of Silent Anatomies (2015), selected by Joy Harjo as winner of the Kore Press First Book Award in poetry.

Ong's practice of poetry off the page takes shape in public engagements that bring a wide range of cultural groups and disciplines together in exhibitions, readings, and community conversations at the intersection of poetry and science.
Ong's poetry installations have been featured in exhibitions from New York's Center for Book Arts to the University of Arizona Poetry Center. Poetry broadsides and selected book arts from Silent Anatomies were recently acquired by the Collection of American Literature at the Yale Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.

Delaroq is a line of handbags and accessories created by NYC based designer Jennifer Lyu. Driven by an innate desire to reduce and simplify, she wanted to create a line of accessories that are grounded in sustainability using excess materials. 'Enabled by strong relationships with tanneries and factories, we are able to support production with an upcycling concept, using materials readily available that are considered industrial excess.' The products are hence serialized as collectible limited edition pieces, avoiding the step of tanning leathers, which is the most environmentally detrimental process within leather goods manufacturing.

The colors in this painting are from photos I took at the artist residency, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA in July 2019, the last summer before the pandemic reshaped everyone's lives."-Roberto Jamora

Initial East Asian medical consultation and treatment, and one follow-up treatment. The first session will be 90 minutes with a thorough assessment, evaluation and acupuncture treatment. The follow-up appointment is included because it gives the individual the opportunity to ask questions and discuss what changes they felt after the first treatment. The follow up will be 75 minutes and include a second acupuncture treatment with any appropriate additional modalities, such as Kyojung, cupping, guasha, and medical qigong. The follow up is suggested to be scheduled within 2 weeks of the initial session.

Ailin Kojima is a general practitioner of East Asian medicine, encompassing acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, medical qigong, Kyojung (Korean physical medicine) and Eastern nutrition. She has been practicing since 2007 and continues to study with masters and specialists locally and abroad. She finds that the more she learns, the more she realizes there remains to learn, from modern research, classical writings and even from her clients. She focuses on getting to know and treating each individual, drawing from her years of experience and utilizing different techniques as necessary. She enjoys educating her clients about their health with the East Asian medical perspective, while drawing parallels to Western biomedicine. She realizes that lifestyle adjustments need to be manageable, and openly discussed to fully help her clients feel able to keep their health on track.

She recently has particular interest in mental health, pain conditions and digestive disorders. Since the start of the pandemic, mental-emotional, spiritual, and physical health has become more challenging for many of us to maintain. Stresses are high as everyone is adapting to the unpredictable future, and our bodies can become deeply exhausted. East Asian medicine can help to calm the central nervous system, replenish the adrenals, and re-regulate an imbalanced system to relieve symptoms such as anxiety and excessive worry, insomnia, digestive upset, brain fog, fatigue, and pain, to name a few. There is much more that can be treated, as well as providing stress relief and general wellness.

"This is an unframed 24"x18" work on paper featuring a Chinese guardian creature, which I observed in colonialized ceramic form at the Peabody Essex Museum on a visit with my family a few years ago. It was meaningful that it was a family trip, because we all live in different cities, and convene only once a year. I love the reverence of the guardian dog lion, but in this case my outsider approach prompted a concern about the teeth, the body, the layers of seeing through to some kind of essential presence about the form, and how it defines space around it. Through embodied senses, I seek to define my own terms of engagement with cultural symbols of all kinds." -Jamie Chan

The mission of the Independent Publishing Resource Center (IPRC) is to provide affordable access to space, tools, and resources for creating independently published media and artwork, and to build community and identity through the creation of written and visual art.

We nurture collaboration, creativity, and community-building through writing, printmaking, & publishing. We provide equitable access to tools, resources, and unconditional support to Portlanders to share their stories & the causes closest to their hearts through the production of independently-published books, prints, posters, zines, and comics. We know that access to art-making is critical to the well-being of communities and people. We're here for anyone who needs us. We also proactively support emerging arts leaders in their ability to devise the creative solutions our communities need.

The Independent Publishing Resource Center began, now 21 years ago, on the second floor of Reading Frenzy bookstore, sparked within the literary and do-it-yourself (DIY) community of Portland. The IPRC was a partnership between writer/publisher/bookseller/activist (and former City Commissioner) Chloe Eudaly and printmaker Rebecca Gilbert (Stumptown Print), and a wide community of writers, printmakers, comics artists, and zinesters.

Over the years, the center has been dedicated to encouraging the growth of a visual and literary publishing community by offering a space to gather and exchange information and ideas, as well as to produce work.

By gathering such a diverse group of people under one roof, the IPRC nourishes an expansive and productive community, and is an incubator for the independent creative spirit that makes Portland unique. The IPRC fills the community need of low-cost access to otherwise expensive space, equipment, and materials, and supports artists to create quality, innovative, and experimental work that couldn't be made elsewhere.

Title: "Unsolicited Advice for the Queer Asian Girls Just Trying to Make It"

7x9" letterpress print on abaca with stitched hanji collage, signed by Arhm Choi Wild (poet) and Steph Rue (artist)

Printed in conjunction with the Jeong Project, a collaborative exchange portfolio organized by the Korean American Artist Collective. Printed in an edition of 50, this is a unique artist proof featuring words by poet Arhm Choi Wild. The poem was printed on a Vandercook SP-15 in Sacramento. The abaca paper was made by the artist in her backyard, and the tiny hanji collage that is stitched to the abaca paper was also made by the artist, in Korea.

Steph Rue is an artist working primarily with handmade paper and books as her medium. She fell in love with the papermaking process while getting her MFA at the University of Iowa Center for the Book. She went on to study traditional Korean bookbinding, papermaking, and printing in South Korea on a Fulbright Research Grant in 2015-2016.

Steph is one of the founders of the Korean American Artist Collective and a member of the Book/Print Artist/Scholar of Color Collective. She teaches workshops and classes on papermaking, bookmaking, and related arts, with an emphasis on East Asian techniques. When she is not teaching or with her two young kids, she makes, prints, binds, weaves, and collages with paper out of her home studio in Sacramento, CA.

This bundle of five books from Nightboat Books includes:

• The Sunflower Cast a Spell to Save Us from the Void by Jackie Wang, a Kundiman fellow.
• CURB by Divya Victor
• Imagine Us, The Swarm by Muriel Leung
• Neotenica by Joon Oluchi Lee
• and DURA by Myung Mi Kim

The poems in The Sunflower Cast A Spell To Save Us From The Void read like dispatches from the dream world, with Jackie Wang acting as our trusted comrade reporting across time and space. By sharing her personal index of dreams with its scenes of solidarity and resilience, interpersonal conflict and outlaw jouissance, Wang embodies historical trauma and communal memory. Here, the all-too-familiar interplay between crisis and resistance becomes first distorted, then clarified and refreshed. With a light touch and invigorating sense of humor, Wang illustrates the social dimension of dreams and their ability to inform and reshape the dreamer's waking world with renewed energy and insight.

In Curb, Divya Victor documents how immigrants and Americans navigate the liminal sites of everyday living: lawns, curbs, and sidewalks undergirded by violence but also constantly repaved with new possibilities of belonging. Curb witnesses immigrant survival, familial bonds, and interracial parenting in the context of nationalist and white-supremacist violence against South Asians. The book refutes the binary of the model minority and the monstrous, dark "other" by reclaiming the throbbing, many-tongued, vermillion heart of kith."

Following the death of the poet's father, Imagine Us, The Swarm contemplates vengeance, eschews forgiveness, and cultivates a desire for healing beyond the reaches of this present life. In this collection of essays in verse, Leung reconciles a familial history of violence and generational trauma across intersections of Asian American, queer, and gendered experiences. Moving between the past and the present, Leung imbues memories with something new to alter time and design a different future.

Neotenica is a novel of encounters: casual sex, arranged-marriage dates, cops, rowdy teenagers, lawyers, a Sapphic flirtation, a rival, a child, and two important dogs. At the center of it are Young Ae, a Korean-born ballet dancer turned PhD student, and her husband, a Korean-American male who inhabits an interior femininity, neither transgender nor homosexual, but a strong, visceral femininity nonetheless. This novel is an adrenaline-filled ride sliding across the surface of desire and chance through the quotidian turned playful.

The politics and poetics of language, culture and self all collide in Myung Mi Kim's DURA, a contemporary classic of Asian American and experimental literature, brought back into print by Nightboat Books on the tenth anniversary of its original publication. The 10th anniversary edition of this classic of Asian America and experimental poetry features a Preface by Juliana Spahr and an Afterword by Kundiman Executive Board Member Stephen Hong Sohn.

Nightboat Books, a nonprofit organization, seeks to develop audiences for writers whose work resists convention and transcends boundaries, by publishing books rich with poignancy, intelligence and risk.
