Poets! Reading & Open Mic 

 Featuring “Courting A Man Who Doesn’t Talk”

author Shizue Seigel in conversation with MK Chavez

In her debut poetry collection, veteran author Shizue Seigel delves into love across difference. Many people lack words to express what’s deepest in their hearts. Lover or spouse, parent or child, employer or co-worker—each has different styles of wordlessness and different reasons for it. In today’s polarized world, breaking through the silence is essential, especially across divisions of race, class, generation, culture, or religion.

​“Breathtakingly fierce and honest poetry that smashes Asian American stereotypes and reveals complexities of love across race, class, age and religion. Provokes fist-pumping, sighing, cheering, and laughing throughout.”  —Susan Kiyo Ito, I Would Meet You Anywhere
