Monica Ong is a visual poet and the author of Silent Anatomies (Kore Press). A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Ong brings a designer's eye to experimental writing with her hybrid image-poems and installations that surface hidden narratives of women and diaspora. Her poetry can be found in Scientific American, ctrl+v, and Poetry Magazine, and anthologies like A Mouth Holds Many Things: A De-Canon Hybrid-Literary Collection (Fonograf Editions).
Planetaria, Ong's recent series of astronomy-inspired visual poetry was exhibited at the Poetry Foundation and the Hunterdon Art Museum. You can find her fine press visual poetry editions and literary art objects in over fifty distinguished institutional collections worldwide. In 2024, Ong was named a United States Artists Fellow.
