Valerie Hsiung is a poet who writes between worlds, where language meets ritual and abolition meets afterlife. Drawing on diasporic, ecological, and mystical inquiry, her books dissolve the borders of poetry, prose, and philosophy into a single listening body. She is the author of eight full-length books, including The pedestrian (Nightboat Books, forthcoming in July), The Naif (Ugly Duckling Presse), and The only name we can call it now is not its only name (Counterpath) and her work has been presented internationally at Double Change (Paris), Hyle (Athens), and the Jaipur Literature Festival. Recipient of support from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, PEN America, and Lighthouse Works, she teaches writing at the limits of language at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University. Born to Chinese-Taiwanese immigrants in Cincinnati, Ohio, she now lives in the foothills of Colorado.

She is the editor of the anthologies We Can See into Another Place: Mile-High Writers on Social Justice (Bower House/The Bookies, 2024) and The Braided River: Activist Rhizome (Essay Press, 2015).
