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=
