1.  eBook and bound book now available, with proceeds to benefit domestic violence nonprofits - please read and share!

"Asian American Anger - It's a Thing!" explores anger in the context of domestic violence and misogyny in the Asian American community.  Readers have called the lead essay in the mini-volume ("Asian American Male Anger:  The Fast and the Furious") "jarring", "breathtaking", and "important".  It's only 99 cents for the eBook - I hope you'll find this affordable and useful to you as thinkers and community members.

I am not making any money on this - all proceeds will go to Narika and Maitri, two domestic violence nonprofits in the Bay Area, and other cultural organizations if enough money is earned.

I've only sold about a dozen copies so far in the first 5 days of availability - so I am depending on word of mouth and your kindness in purchasing and sharing the links to purchase the books.  I think you'll find this a very powerful and stirring read.

Also included in the book is my essay on internet rage, "The Social Network is an IndigNation" - which is an excerpt from my book-in-progress about the psychology of social networks.  And - a dozen bonus poems about anger!

Here are the links:

Amazon, Kindle and Kindle app link  (You don't need a Kindle to read this - you can download a free app to your desktop or smartphone.)

iBooks link (for iPad, iPhone and Mac)

Please share widely in your networks - and I would absolutely invite feedback on these essays.

THANK YOU!!!!!

2.  Hyphen LitCrawl performance now on YouTube!

I hope you enjoy this roughly 9 minute performance from Hyphen's LitCrawl on October 18, 2014.  The individual poems are also on my YouTube channel, if you are so moved as to share any of them.
