Cut to Bloom - Paperback

by Noah Arhm Choi (Author)

Cut to Bloom, where Arhm Choi Wild dares to explore the journey of unlearning the survival instinct of trauma.

Through the complex hyphen between Asian and American identity, queerness and belonging, and survival and choice, Wild delves into the heart of what it means to redefine oneself.

This book disrupts the colonialism of strict poetic form, embracing the beauty of ambiguity and challenging clear definitions.

Cut to Bloom invites you on an exploration of growth, cutting away what no longer serves us to arrive at our true selves. The reader will find inspiration to redefine identity and embrace the transformative power of poetry.
