Welcome!
Welcome to my poetry Substack! This is where you can stay up-to-date on my published poetry, teaching, and reflections on the creative process. I’m grateful for the amazing community that I’ve gotten to know as a poet, and I hope some of you will get to connect with each other too!
About Me
I’m a Thai American poet, born and raised in Southern California and now living and doing ministry in Bangkok, Thailand with my wife and three kids.
I have been writing and publishing poetry for the better part of a decade and have published poems in Sojourners, First Things, Red Letter Christians, The Lent Project, and elsewhere. I write poems about the intersection of faith, justice, and wonder.
Investing in other artists is my jam! One of my highlights the past few years has been co-leading Spirit & Scribe, a workshop helping writers to integrate spiritual formation and writing craft. I also co-lead the PAX Fellowship’s Writers Cohort.
You can find all my poetry, teaching, and more at michaelstalcup.com.
