They Rise Like a Wave: An Anthology of Asian American Women Poets
(Christine Kitano, Alycia Pirmohamed, Paul Tran, Manahil Bandukwala, Sarah Audsley)

Blue Oak Press celebrates the publication of They Rise Like a Wave: An Anthology of Asian American Women Poets, which explores the depth and diversity of contemporary work by Asian American women and nonbinary poets. It provides an artifact of the range of responses to both personal and political forces, including the Trump presidency, the COVID pandemic, and the recent rise in anti-Asian violence. Panelists will speak to the evolving stakes of what it means to write as an Asian American poet.
