SUMMARY:East of the Monsoon: Southeast Asian American Poetry at USA250
DESCRIPTION:The D. SEA Writers Collective read poems commemorating the USA at 250\, sharing the tears\, joys\, and wonders of 1.5 gen. refugees&immigrants. \n\n\n\n\nDan Hong\, Nico Penaranda\, Dylan Tran\, and Pacyinz Lyfoung are Southeast Asian American poets from Vietnam\, Laos\, and the Philippines\, bearing the cultural heritage of their Vietnamese\, Filipino\, Chinese\, and Hmong ancestors. They have been reading together for over a year\, and in 2026\, they started to write together. They formed the D. SEA (Southeast Asian American) Writers Collective\, a DC/DMV group. They revised and created poems to commemorate the quarter of a millenium anniversary of the USA\, sharing the good\, the bad\, and other of their Southeast Asian American journeys. They will be glad to share poetry with you all\, and if you would like to write your own poem too\, they prepared a writing workshop to be offered after their reading. We will be meeting in Room 401-F\, on the 4th Floor of the DC MLK Library. \nRegister here\n
