I realized that I never got a chance to post about having my work featured in ‘Out of the Shadows of Angkor: Cambodian Poetry, Prose, and Performance Through the Ages.’ Published in Fall 2022 through Manoa Journal (@manoa_journal), this groundbreaking anthology features over 400 pages of Cambodian writing in translation into English, as well as works by contemporary Cambodian and its diaspora writers. As a Cambodian transracial adoptee, having three poems from my book, Ghost Face, as well as a short explanatory essay included in this anthology means the world to me. I am learning how to embrace and reclaim my Cambodian ancestry everyday, combining it with my Portuguese, Spanish, and Canadian upbringing. So it is an honour and humbling to be featured alongside many Cambodian and diaspora writers that I admire and revere. Many thanks to the anthology’s editors for putting their trust and support in me and my writing. 🙏🏾 . . . #gregsantos #gregsantospoetry #ghostfacepoetry #manoajournal #cambodian #poetry #bookstagram #intheshadowsofangkor #writingcommunity #khmer #adopteevoices (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7faogpZFMqEj60Ry7gk8fa51iBYqI2Hcp4s80/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s Khmer New Year this weekend. Best wishes to all who celebrate. Chaul Chnam Thmey! Taking part in this AWP panel event last month was such a moving and special experience. Missing my Cambodian writer family! “Our March 10 presentation at the 2023 conference of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs featured moderator Sharon May and panelists Greg Santos, Putsata Reang, Sokunthary Svay, and Mylo Lam. Warmest thanks to them and the audience for making this presentation on traditional and new Cambodian writing very special <3” - Via @manoa_journal’s Facebook Page. . . . #gregsantos #gregsantospoetry #awp23 #khmernewyear #khmervoices #manoajournal (at Seattle Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrD93YcApcdj0eI2VXQVDw9hFPAaNRRPBqPGS00/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
