Mapping Loss in a Crowded City in Cha

My conversation with award-winning writer Holly Sykes has just been published in Cha: An Asian Literary Journal. Holly talks with insight and charm about how it feels to map loss and loneliness in a crowded city – and how loss can also lead to connection. The story is illustrated with artwork and photography by Kasra Shroff, Rebecca Dandridge-Walker and Ricky Sadiosa. Thanks to editor Tammy Lai-Ming Ho for the care and attention you put into each piece.
