01
Ocean-Bright Passage manuscript
My third great grandfather, an Englishman in first class named Frederick Sutton, perished on April 15, 1912 after jumping off the Titanic. He was from my mother’s side of my family, and the fortune he left behind eventually sent her to college. The documentary The Six (2020) traces the story of the six Chinese sailors who survived the Titanic disaster—defying all odds as men with third class tickets—finally gave me permission to tell my interracial family’s story.
(The film here is a short "poem trailer" for a piece originally written for the collection.)
