Great Sage, Protector of Horses
Handsome Monkey King, Great Sage / Equal to Heaven, we appeal / with dusty knees and shoulders / aching to match our hearts.
May Chong is a bi Chinese Malaysian poet, speculative writer, and multiple Rhysling nominee. Her verse has been published in Strange Horizons, Anathema Magazine, Apparition Literary, Bending Genres, and Eye to the Telescope. When she’s not coaxing words out of her keyboard, she enjoys birdwatching, video games, spoken word (on both sides of the mic), and the worst possible puns. She is currently working on her first full-length collection of speculative poetry and thinking nerdy things out loud on Twitter as @maysays.
