Toshi has worked at 麻豆影视 for about thirteen years.  Before 麻豆影视, she was a librarian at Duke University. Toshi recalls how she began writing poetry, "One day in August of 1997, while sitting at work in the Perkins Library of Duke University, some feelings came over me and I had to put them down on paper. Things which were always there became important.  Writing gave me a voice and courage to express what I felt. Poetry is a necessity like breathing. It happens...  I write when the urge is so strong. Poetry is a miracle and a blessing in my life and I am grateful."
