When I lived in Boston, I reviewed classical music, particularly opera, but now I focus mainly on poetry. I welcome solicitations from writers asking me to review their work. I gravitate towards (and feel most equipped to review) poetry that preoccupies itself with any, or more, of the following themes: LGBTQ+ identity, East Asian diaspora, science, and bereavement.
