Please join us to celebrate the publication of They Rise Like a Wave, a new anthology that captures the dynamic and shifting landscape of Asian American poetry. These poems emerge out of this particular political and historical moment as an expression of reckoning and renewal, and reminder that poetry is a reflection of lived experience as well as a call to imagine how to build a better world. WIth Iris A. Law, Swati Rana, Mia Ayumi Malhotra, C.E. Shue, Ann Inoshita, and Dena Igusti.
At a time when institutional policies have sought to silence, marginalize, deport, or otherwise erase the existences of women of color, our poets have never been less silent. This anthology aims to spotlight the voices of Asian American women and non-binary poets writing through these difficult times. Contributors range from established poets who are widely published, such as Marilyn Chin, Franny Choi, Victoria Chang, Devi S. Laskar and Bhanu Kapil, to emerging voices such as Paul Tran, Ryka Aoki, Hyejung Kook, and Monica Sok.
