On Sept. 28, the MacArthur Foundation announced its 2021 class of fellows. Along with 24 others, the foundation honored Don Mee Choi, a poet and translator who lives in Seattle and teaches at Renton Technical College. Known colloquially as “genius grants,” MacArthur fellowships are awarded “to individuals who show exceptional creativity in their work and the prospect for still more in the future.” Fellowships include a stipend of $625,000 over five years, for use in whatever way the fellows see fit. The MacArthur Foundation recognized Choi for her work “bearing witness to the effects of military violence and U.S. imperialism on the civilians of the Korean Peninsula.”
