Poetry Workshop with Canto Cutie, Art and Literature Zine about the Cantonese Diaspora
In celebration of this year’s Vermont Reads book “Last Night at the Telegraph Club” by Malinda Lo, join Katherine Leung, Cantonese-Vermonter and editor of Canto Cutie, for a discussion about the Asian American experience through writing followed by a guided poetry workshop.
This presentation will start with an overview of Canto Cutie’s impact on Asian American independent publishing and be followed by a reading of poems written by Cantonese-American writers from past volumes of Canto Cutie. Afterwards, participants will write their own poems using a simple and interactive format. Participants can share their creations and read aloud from their latest work at the end of the workshop.
First ten participants to join will receive a free copy of Canto Cutie Zine.
Supported in part by Vermont Humanities, thanks to a generous grant.
