Myths and the Motherland: A Reading @ Massachusetts Poetry Festival

I’ll be reading alongside poets Diana Cao, M. Cynthia Cheung, and Angela Siew as part of Massachusetts Poetry Festival’s Bridging the Gap virtual program. Titled “Myths and the Motherland,” the reading will explore poetry from the Chinese diaspora. Join us on Sunday April 27th at 5-6pm EST if you can make it! Tickets are free and can be booked here.

Join Diana Cao, M. Cynthia Cheung, Nicole W. Lee and Angela Siew for a reading from the authors’ award-winning work and recent/forthcoming books. Work will touch both upon the Chinese diasporic experience – the impact of migration on cultural and linguistic legacy, the idea of homeland, or reinterpretations of stories of Chinese female historical characters and myths – as well as work outside this scope. How has/does identity influence the work of these writers (or not)? A Q&A and community discussion will follow the reading.
