Poet Brian Komei Dempster earned a BA at the University of Washington and an MFA at the University of Michigan. In his debut poetry collection, Topaz (2013), Dempster engages the difficult legacy of his family’s World War II imprisonment within an American internment camp. In a 2014 review of Topaz for Nichi Bei, Tim Yamamura noted, “As a collection of poems, Topaz complicates Asian American master narratives focusing on tensions between immigrant parents and their American children, yet it simultaneously affirms familial themes in exploring historical relations between grandparents (and uncles) and their grandchildren.”
