We will be reading pieces we have collaborated on as well as our individual poetry. Much of our work centers on the impact U.S. militarization has had on our home island community of Guahan and the Micronesian islands, which is manifest in social, economic, and environmental injustices. Light refreshments will be served. There will also be a facilitated discussion regarding the themes of the poetry. This event will contribute to our portfolio project for the MA Pacific Islands Studies program.
The event is free and open to the public! Please help us spread the word.
