I couldn’t be more honored to have my experimental piece “Identity Theories” named the winner of the 2022 Lumiere Review Prose Contest!
The Lumiere Review is a nonprofit literary magazine that strongly believes “that all creative voices should be heard through a platform to shine light on every story, idea, and experience.”
A huge thanks to the editorial staff and to judge Elaine Hsieh Chou for seeing my creative vision and deeming it worthy of an award. I appreciate it.
“Identity Theories” absolutely buzzes with life. The words jump off the page, rhythmic, inventive and wryly knowing, stitching together a multi-faceted character who I won’t soon forget. The story is both blade sharp and softly tender, unafraid to ask what it takes to survive in this world while wearing multiple selves.
— Elaine Hsieh Chou, 2022 Prose Contest Judge
