About Dawn
My name is Dawn. I grew up in the polyglot, bustling borough of Queens, New York, and now live in the Twin Cities, Minnesota / Mni Sota Makoce - Homeland of the Dakota. I am a third-generation Chinese American, granddaughter of a paper son who immigrated to the United States during the Chinese Exclusion Act era.
I am curious about many things such as dreams, the natural & spiritual world, poetry as prayer, haiga, religious iconography, the magic of illuminated manuscripts, saints, typography, calligraphy, collective liberation, environmental protections/reciprocity, chosen family, Bazi astrology, origami and much much more. I have an affinity for pigeons, snails and all kinds of marine animals. Swimming, bicycling and outdoor walks keep me sane and grounded.
My poem "Breathe" was selected as one of the winning entries for the 2021 Public Art Saint Paul Sidewalk Poetry contest.
