Lydia Liu is the author of The problem of deer (Finishing Line Press, 2025). She was a finalist in the 2022 Poetry Society of America Chapbook Fellowship contest, selected by Eileen Myles, and a recipient of the Bain-Swiggett Poetry Prize from Princeton University (2016), the Dorothy Rosenberg Memorial Prize in Lyric Poetry from UC Berkeley (2019), and the C.D. Wright Memorial Scholarship from the Poetry Program at the Community of Writers (2020). Lydia believes poetry should be read aloud and read to—someone you love (or indeed, your enemies); she has performed at the Holloway Reading Series at UC Berkeley and at the David Ireland House in San Francisco with friends.
