Welcome to Linocat, a blog of minor poetry and crafts considerations and an archive of poems and stuff made by Debbie Yee. Linocat is a sequel to a predecessor blog and named after a linocut print of a contemporary maneki neko Japanese Lucky Cat illustration I created at a printmaking studio in the summer 2009.
I’m a lawyer-poet, arts enthusiast, crafts explorer, and community organizer for the nonprofit literary and arts community. I am a Kundiman fellow whose poems appear in anthologies and literary reviews in print and online, including The Best American Poetry 2009, 32 Poems and Fence. I currently serve on the board of Asian Culinary Forum. I live in San Francisco with my husband, where I am in-house counsel for one of the national banks by day and periodically teach writing and printmaking classes.
