praise

"[James Yeh is] probably one of the four or five best writers in the United States who hasn’t yet published a book."

--Kyle Minor, HTMLGIANT

Nice words about my chapbook "9/16/10," cited as a notable story in Best American Nonrequired Reading 2011:

"Spit out in tense, hypnotic prose, James Yeh's Taiwanese-American kaddish can be read in the time it takes you to brush your teeth, but I'm going to bet you don't forget its sadness or its post-Brooklyn dread for a long, long time."

--Ed Park, author of Personal Days/a founding editor of the Believer

"Yeh’s quiet meditation on death will sneak in and throw up a window in your soul with its intensity."

--Deb Olin Unferth, author of Revolution and Minor Robberies

--
Nice words about my zine collaborations with Andrew Bulger:

"Adorable [...] and sneakily haunting."

--Julia Jackson, Electric Literature's The Outlet blog

"An eight-page auto-bio zine that tells the story about James Yen [sic] being nervous about playing a show at a bar. A lot of it is about loneliness. There are only ten copies so I don’t know why I’m reviewing it."

--Nick Gazin, VICE
