“I never knew Asian American poetry was so vibrant, so powerful, so incredibly and indelibly written on my soul and across this nation.”

– Neil Aitken

“I discovered a supportive and dynamic community of young writers, deeply engaged with each other’s work, who are constantly giving new meaning to what it is to be an Asian American poet.”

– Phayvanh Luekhamhan

"Kundiman’s support of both literature and community is part of the very spirit and vision of the organization. This can be seen very specifically in their Kavad project and the way it values the lives and experiences of older Asian Americans and understands that the stories of these individuals need to be recorded and made into literature."

– David Mura
