Josey Foo is a Chinese native of Malaysia who immigrated to the United States in the mid-1980s. She attended college and was an undocumented alien in New York City in the mid-1980s, working in cabinetry, typing, waitressing and other trades. Her first book of prose, poems, and a picture story of a three-legged, traveling beagle, Endou was published by Lost Roads in 1995; portions were included in The Best American Essays 1995. Foo has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and was the recipient of an Eve of St. Agnes Poetry Award. A two-time Yale Series of Younger Poets finalist, Foo helps her husband Richard Ferguson run Crooked Shelf Books in Farmington, New Mexico, and works as a lawyer-advocate on and near the Navajo Nation.
