*Through our YouTube channel, AAWW TV, you can relive the magic of live
events at our space in Chelsea, check out in-depth interviews with writers,
and more. Every Thursday we’ll be sharing a new segment from AAWW TV on* The
Margins.
Watch the latest episode of AAWW TV for a special reading about migration
and reconfiguring literal and imagined borderlands with writers Vi Khi Nao,
Brandon Shimoda and Celina Su. Celina Su’s debut collection of poetry,
Landia, is a series of border crossings and questioning the social contract
of
the state and citizenship. Brandon Shimoda will read from forthcoming prose
and poetry about the forced internal migration of Japanese incarceration
and its ongoing aftermath.
Vi Khi Nao’s experimental writing across poetry, essay, fiction and drama
grasps a new vocabulary for grief, placelessness, and healing. Moderated by
poet-scholar Dorothy Wang and
introduced by AAWW Board Member Monica Youn, this event was presented as
part of Where My Dreaming and My Loving
Live, Poetry & the Body, the second annual initiative of the Poetry
Coalition.
