Poss.ws Now Offline

While I continue to learn about Hmong music in my spare time, the focus of my work has shifted to other areas. For many years I maintained the website, www.poss.ws, as an outlet for my research and as a way to provide access to my research materials.

All of those materials are available via other outlets on the internet now, and since I did not have any plans to update the website, I have let the domain name expire. You are welcome to contact me with any questions through my personal website: www.nicholasposs.com.

I am grateful to the many people who have contributed to my research and taught me so much and I am happy to continue sharing my work with the Internet.
