Matthew Salesses
Salesses presents To Grieve Is to Carry Another Time, a memoir written after his wife died of stage four stomach cancer, weaving together his identities as “adoptee, Asian American, husband, father, and, finally, widower.” Salesses, adopted from Korea, teaches in the Virginia Tech MFA program and is the author of The Sense of Wonder and Craft in the Real World. Hanif Abdurraqib calls it “impressively honest and vulnerable.”
