Yellow Arrow Publishing is excited to introduce our third 2026 Yellow Arrow author, Minyong Cho, and the cover of her soon-to-be-released chapbook, Wall Down Ramallah.

https://www.yellowarrowpublishing.com/store/wall-down-ramallah-paperback

Born in Seoul, Korea, Minyong Cho immigrated to California when she was 16. In 2007, then 32 years old, she moved to the West Bank to finish her PhD dissertation in Islamic art history. There, one question about her past gnawed at her: why did she experience abuse as a child but not her sister? In Wall Down Ramallah, Cho alternates memories of Korea with her life in Palestine, eliciting feelings of being completely and permanently outside any “home.” In liminal spaces like the Qalandia military checkpoint and the haunted hallways of a Jerusalem dormitory, and through the thin walls of the houses she moved through, she pieced together what her parents might have been hiding behind closed doors. The result of her profound, heartbreaking obsession with her personal history is Wall Down Ramallah.

Learn more about Cho and how the memoir came to be in a recent conversation with Melissa Nunez at https://www.yellowarrowpublishing.com/news/inhabiting-your-voice-interview-minyong-cho-wall-down-ramallah. The cover image is Yusuf fleeing the Advances of Zulaikha (1488) by Kamal Al-Din Behzad, currently in the Egyptian National Library and Archives and in the public domain on Wikimedia Commons. Cover design is by Alexa Laharty.

Reserve your copy today. Wall Down Ramallah will be released on July 21, 2026. Make sure to like our Friday reveals of Wall Down Ramallah before then.

And don’t forget to submit your chapbook by June 30! Find out more at https://www.yellowarrowpublishing.com/cbsubmissions.

LUMINATE is elemental, existential. Without a light source, there is only darkness. This is why we want to shine a neon light onto Baltimore creatives this year.

: to blare with welcome
: to embrace and celebrate the self that has been contained for too long
: to buzz with audacity
: to seep into darkness
: to call others like you to find their home

Yellow Arrow Vignette LUMINATE is looking for poetry, creative nonfiction, and cover art by creatives who identify as women with a connection to the Baltimore area.
