AWP Virtual Panel: Myths & Motherlands: Migration & Multiplicity in the Chinese Diaspora

With Angela Siew, M. Cynthia Cheung, Diana Cao, Nicole W. Lee, and Saba Keramati

A reading from the authors’ award-winning work and recent/forthcoming books. In the face of hypernationalism and trade wars, it’s essential that we as Chinese diasporic women offer our work as resistance. Poems will touch upon the Chinese diasporic experience—the impact of migration on cultural and linguistic legacy, the idea of homeland, reinterpretations of historical characters and myths, multiplicity in identities and literary form—and work outside this scope. A Q&A will follow.
