k. yeung writes where diaspora, desire, technology, and memory collide. Working across essay, poetry, and autotheoretical forms, he practices embodied critique: thinking from the body, through its frictions, vulnerabilities, and resistances, rather than from the safe distance of abstraction.
he is the author of the forthcoming hybrid manuscript an(other) grammar, which was named a finalist for the 2026 black Lawrence Press Immigrant Writing Series. He is also at work on the accretion diaries, a book-length project tracing encounters across place, memory, intimacy, and diaspora.
an(other) grammar traces the architectures that govern the self—code, migration, ritual, shame, lineage—and the ways they choreograph perception and legibility. Across forms, he asks how we survive being read, how we unlearn the scripts we inherit, and how we build languages for returning to opacity, tenderness, and choice.
