Poet, Translator, Mirror: A Conversation with Miho Kinnas, by Renee H. Shea Interviews [email protected] Tue, 12/05/2023 - 15:32 Two-time Pushcart Prize nominee Miho Kinnas recently published Waiting for Sunset to Bury Red Camellias, her third book of poetry. Her two other collections, Today, Fish Only (2015) and Move Over, Bird (2019), were both published by Math Paper Press, which is based in Singapore. Her poem “Three Shrimp Boats on the Horizon” was selected for Best American Poetry 2023. We Eclipse into the Other Side (Pinyon), which she and E. Ethelbert Miller wrote collaboratively, also came out this year as a limited-edition chapbook. Marcus Amaker, the first poet laureate of Charleston, South Carolina, calls her work “equally playful, mysterious, abstract, and intimate”; he is proud to be the publisher of Kinnas’s newest collection through Free Verse Press, which he founded. Born in Tokyo, Kinnas has lived in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and the US. She earned an MFA in creative writing from the City University of Hong Kong and leads haiku/renku and translation workshops locally and internationally. Her poems, translations, and reviews have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, including The Tanka Society of America, Alluvium: Literary Shanghai, Local Life, Asian Literary Journal, and American Book Review. She currently lives in Hilton Head, South Carolina, where she is active in the local community as a member of... Continue reading at 'World Literature Today'
