We wanted to acknowledge the passing of Jeffery Paul Chan, writer, professor, and co-editor of the foundational Asian American anthology, AIIIEEEEE! and The Big AIIIEEEEE! We’re grateful for the support and love he showed KSW in years past, for the influence and support he’s given to so many of us Asian American writers, and on a personal note, Jeff was my professor at SF State in the 90s and he is the one of the first teachers to introduce me to Asian American literature— which helped set me on the path that led me to where I am today as the artistic director here at KSW. And I couldn't be more grateful. We thank you Jeff. Our deepest condolences to all of his family and friends.

in solidarity,

Jason Bayani
KSW Artistic Director
