(from 2024) | Brian Chan is a standout high school student and the founder of the House of Poetry Magazine. We talk about the challenges of facing rejection, the mission of House of Poetry to give a voice to marginalized writers, and how his personal journey has influenced his activism and literary ambitions. From the influences of Toni Morrison and Ocean Vuong to creating a supportive literary community, we discuss the importance of raw expression in writing and the liberating potential of language.
