About me
Princess Moon is a Cambodian-American poet and multidisciplinary artist based in Boston, MA. Her work is a juxtaposition between life, death, joy, tragedy, and the complexities of healing. As the daughter of refugees, her artistic process is influenced by the Cambodian Civil War and America’s involvement leading up to the genocide.
She has graced the Finals stages of the 2011 Brave New Voices as well as the 2012 and 2013 Louder Than a Bomb Massachusetts. In 2014, Princess Moon coached the winning team of LTABMA and was awarded the Charmaine Santiago Galdon Award for her tireless community building. She has featured at the Boston Poetry Slam amongst other local and national venues and presented the Keynote Speech at the 2016 Massachusetts Mental Health Forum.
You can find her work published in Out of the Shadows of Angkor, Merrimack Valley Magazine, Swift Collective’s Stop Asian Hate campaign, and in her first debut collection of poetry The Genocide’s Love Baby Learns to Sing (Bootstrap Press). Currently, she is represented by Jill Grinberg Literary Management in New York City and is writing her second book. For more information, check out byprincessmoon.com.
