Geosi Gyasi: Do you write from personal experiences?
Teresa Mei Chuc: I think that I write from personal, universal, natural and human experiences. I believe that our most intimate and personal spaces reflect the greater story of humanity, the earth and the universe. So, the deeper I look inside myself, the further and wider I reach into the world.
The rest of the interview will be available in my forthcoming book (2016) by Lamar University Press Books.
