Pichchenda Bao is an emerging writer and poet. She was born in Cambodia at the end of the Khmer Rouge regime and came with her parents to the United States as refugees in the 1980s. She writes at the intersection of survivor’s guilt, immigrant striving, latent feminism and political activism, stay-at-home motherhood, cultural displacement and radical acceptance. Her work is rooted in and grows from these layered liminal spaces. Her first poem was published in Newtown Literary. Her second published poem is in great weather for MEDIA's anthology, Suitcase of Chrysanthemums and has been nominated for a 2019 Pushcart Prize.
