Samantha Le is a poet, novelist and designer whose work, with its whimsical images and toothsome, buoyant sounds, is an amuse-bouche that lingers on the tip of the tongue, that first surprising taste at the table exquisitely set. A recipient of several James D. Phelan Literary Awards, the Santa Clara County Poetry Prize and The Silicon Valley Community Foundation Donor Circle for the Arts Grant for Writer-in-Residence of the "East Side Voices Project," Le holds a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from San Jose State University and currently resides in San Luis Obispo, California.
