Bio
Poet Joseph Stroud says, Every now and then a unique, distinctive voice
will appear on the literary scene, as if from out of nowhere. Such is the case with Sam Roxas-Chua. Sam is a poet and multi-disciplinary artist from Eugene, Oregon. He has been described as a man who can seemingly take any kind of physical materials and transform them into art, his writings have been called tidal and full of magical realism. Poet Tyehimba Jess describes his work as, Surreal yet rooted in palpable color
and history, this poet's vision transcends oceans, blends geographies and
bleeds a multi-tongued heritage for us to better find ourselves. We need
more maps like this in the world, and cartographers of language like Sam.
His publications include Fawn Language (Tebot Bach, 2013), Saying Your Name Three Times Underwater (Lithic Press) and Echolalia In Script - A Collection of Asemic Writing (Orison Books). His poems and visual art folios have appeared in various journals including Narrative, december Magazine, Cream City Review, and basalt Magazine; his collection of poems, Diary of Collected Summers, won the first place award in the 7th Annual Missouri Review Audio Competition in poetry. Most recently he has been interviewed for an issue of Gulf Coast Journal. He has appeared in a live broadcast of Dear Sugar Radio at the Aladdin Theater in support of #writeourdemocracy / #writersresist and he is the owner of The Requatorist, a small business dedicated to community writing workshops.
