2023 WORKSHOP SCHOLARS

Reginald Kent is a mixed-Asian writer-scholar who holds an M.F.A from The University of Washington’s program in Creative Writing. He will be continuing his scholarship in its Ph.D. program in Literature and Culture in Autumn 2023 and also holds an M.A. in English Literature from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Reggie has been published in the Quarterly Literary Review of Singapore and has work featured in The Best Asian Short Stories 2022 collection (KITAAB). Reggie’s creative work and scholarship focus on diaspora and queerness. He seeks to define and render an “Alternative Fullness” towards resisting White-cis-heteronormativity while celebrating the literature of the Global Majority.

S.M. Sukardi is a writer, essayist, and occasional critic from the suburbs of Southern California. They have received fellowships from Kundiman, the National Book Critics Circle, and Periplus.
