AAWWTV: A Cruelty Special To Our Species with Emily Yoon, Wo Chan, Kristin Chang, Sueyeun Lee

Join us for a transcendent night celebrating Emily Yoon’s debut collection of poetry, A Cruelty to Our Species, a collection of testimony to Korean “comfort women” who were forced into sexual labor in Japanese-occupied territories during World War II, and a bright elegy to departed ancestors, languages, and girlhood. As Poetry Editor for The Margins, Emily has cultivated a special home for Asian American poetry in all of its richness. Come celebrate her poetic force along with readings from poet and drag performer Wo Chan, poet Kristin Chang, and writer, video artist, and scholar of light Sueyeun Juliette Lee, who is visiting us from Denver!
