Southeast Asian American poetry at UC Davis

A great article from the Sacramento Bee about the role of poetry and spoken word among Southeast Asian American and other students at UC Davis, including Fong "Batman" Tran, a 24-year-old UC Berkeley grad: http://www.sacbee.com/2012/03/24/4362655/uc-davis-multicultural-poetry.html

"Muslim American women in hijabs poured out their truths alongside a Latina mother of two, black and white poets of both genders and bards of Vietnamese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Hmong, Mien and Cambodian extraction."

 I hope Lao writers and poets will also participate over time at this and other readings. I think it's also particularly interesting for the way the speculative arts are intersecting with their self-expression and sense of identification.
