While Kundiman is known for its annual retreat and its dedication to the promotion and cultivation of Asian American poetry, what often goes unmentioned is the civic, social, and community work that extends beyond the space of the retreat. Faculty members, fellows, and Kundiman founders will discuss the tenets of community building as it relates to Kundiman, but will also discuss how they channeled and even extended the premise of community building beyond the Kundiman retreat space.
Noon.-1:15 p.m
Ambassador Ballroom, Omni Shoreham Hotel, West Lobby
Washington, DC
More info here.
Featuring Esther Lee, Gary Jackson, Cynthia Arrieu-King, Neil Aitken, Purvi Shah
Representing an array of diverse voices and aesthetics, these poets will share work from their recently-published first books, as well as how organizations like Kundiman, a retreat for Asian American poets, and its community has affected their artistic lives. Along with sharing the joys and challenges of publishing their first poetry collections, they will also discuss how their work pushes against the boxed-in stereotypes that exist about writers of color and their experiences in America.
3:00 p.m.-4:15 p.m.
Coolidge Room, Marriott Wardman Park, Mezzanine Level
