My essay for 1990 Institute Newsletter Vol 1 Issue 7
What are you doing for Asian American and Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander Heritage Month?
I just taught a prose poetry class at New York Public Library in Mandarin Chinese to a group of lively Chinese grandmas. I was worried whether my Mandarin would hold out, but we wrote about first days in America, favorite foods missed, and hopes and dreams for beloved grandchildren. We had so much fun sharing stories. It was a great warm up for Asian American and Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
