We are engaged in an on-going cross-cultural, cross-national, cross-racial,
cross-gender, cross-a-lot-of-things-collaboration. Tammy Ho is a young Hong
Kong poet; Reid Mitchell is a middle-aged writer from New Orleans. Much of our work has been written in the form of dialogues--or overlapping monologues--that combine elements of poetry, prose, and drama. We don't really have a name for what we are attempting to do; if we have to have a name, we'd call it trans-Pacific literature. (TH&RM)
