Description
In this audiovisual recording from Friday, March 22, 2019, as part of the 50th Annual UND Writers Conference: “What the Future Holds,” Sally Wen Mao presents the inspiration and historical background behind her work, including Anna May Wong, and reads poems from her collections Oculus and Mad Honey Symposium. Mao also responds to audience questions about the progress being made in equality for those with Asian descent, how old she was when she notices the disparity between Asian actors and non-Asian actors, how stereotype in media affected her growing up, what she would say to Anna May Wong if she met her today, and how to deal with powerlessness in changing narratives.
Introduced by Hailey Sanden.
