about ALIN

Alin (Thalia) Youn is a Korean writer born and raised in China. Her poems have appeared in Cellar Door, with work forthcoming in Passages North. She was awarded the 2022 Philip Sargeant Poetry Prize—the winnings of which were promptly spent on her one true love: tattoos. In her free time, she sings sad, lyrical songs, plays first person shooter games, and lazes alongside the bone-healing frequencies of her cats, Jelly and Lamy.
