Where the Magpie Meets Blue

By Jiyoo Choi

Where the Magpie Meets Blue is a collection of poetry, essays, and short stories that explore Choi's identity and evocative coming-of-age. Having spent each year either moving homes or preparing to move, she has gathered experiences that are both deeply personal and reflective of her Korean-American background. Each piece reveals how she approaches choice as she oscillates between quiet grief, unexpected intimacy, and cultural reconciliation. Whether it's somber poetry or a memoir with aching clarity, Choi sheds light on a process often shadowed by packing cardboard boxes and saying farewell-the process of unpackaging and relearning.
