Ahead of my interview with @ninamingya for @sinethetamag #15 coming out Sunday, I wanted to make a quick thread mapping all the amazing @bittermelonpoem Stay Home Diary contributors who have also been in Sine Theta - the best of both worlds!! 1/x
Sunny Liu's poem "根" was in @sinethetamag #10, “THRIVE (盛)” 🌿☘️🍀 2/x https://twitter.com/bittermelonpoem/status/1252542697275109376?s=20
Lily Amelia Susman's personal essay about papayas, "Bust", was in @sinethetamag #12, "THUNDER (雷)"

I actually edited Lily's piece, though I didn't have much to do as the first draft was already astounding! https://twitter.com/bittermelonpoem/status/1251906743921147910?s=20
JinJin Xu's "水的女人 Women, of Water" was in @sinethetamag #7, "MUD (泥)” 🌊 4/x https://twitter.com/bittermelonpoem/status/1248566226428874753?s=20
Shu-Ling Chua's poem "gardenia" was in @sinethetamag #14, "PERFUME (香)" 🌺 5/x https://twitter.com/hellopollyanna/status/1248414456930922499?s=20
Minying Huang was in @sinethetamag #8 "GOLD (金)” with the poem "Winter Washing in the Han River" 💧

Minying was one of the first people to follow Sine Theta on Instagram in 2016 so I was really excited when she submitted! 6/x https://twitter.com/bittermelonpoem/status/1243839091961221121?s=20
Of course, Chen Chen was interviewed by Emily @girlghibli for @sinethetamag #5, "FLOW (流)" and we definitely didn't scream when he sent us two bilingual poems for #9, "ECHO (替)” 7/x https://twitter.com/chenchenwrites/status/1243183098180898817?s=20
Kwan-Ann Tan had a poem "Dirge of the Hungry Ghosts" in @sinethetamag #14, "PERFUME (香)" 👻

Peep a familiar name in her Stay Home Diary entry... 8/x https://twitter.com/bittermelonpoem/status/1241671686866513921?s=20
...And Jessica J. Lee (editor of @WillowherbRvw) who I interviewed last summer for @sinethetamag #12, "THUNDER (雷)"!! 9/10 (<-the status of this thread, not my rating for Jessica, which is of course an 11/10 with the extra 1 being for her dog Brisket) https://twitter.com/bittermelonpoem/status/1241812320889733126?s=20
And finally there's eager old me 🥕

Tbh just compiling this thread for my own sake - it's been so lovely seeing familiar (&new!) names on my feed during this time, & I love the idea that our connections all overlap & interlink!

My chat with Nina comes out Sunday!

10/10
