When will American poetry and poetics stop viewing poetry by
racialized persons as a secondary subject within the field? Dorothy J. Wang,
Professor of American Studies, makes an impassioned case that the time is now. Thinking Its Presence: Form, Race, and Subjectivity in Contemporary Asian
American Poetry calls for a radical rethinking of how American poetry is being read today. Join Dorothy
J. Wang
and contemporary Chinese American poets in a dialogue about the impact
of racial subjectivity on the conception of Asian American poetic form, craft
and aesthetic. John Yau, Marilyn
Chin
and Paolo Javier will perform original work showcasing a range of
aesthetic styles within the field of Asian American poetry, from
traditional lyric
to avant-garde.
