New York, NY
Come and join Kundiman in the midst of our 7th annual Asian American Poetry Retreat! Celebrate with us on our inaugural year in NYC. This reading is our only stint in Manhattan: for the rest of the week we're cocooned in our poetry wilderness at Rose Hills. Hear our wonderful, intrepid & kick-ass Kundiman Retreat faculty members Tan Lin, Paisley Rekdal & Regie Cabico + a handful of Kundie fellows. Reception to follow. Free & open to the public.
Regie Cabico is a spoken word pioneer having won top prizes in the 1993, 1994 and 1997 National Poetry Slams. His work appears in over 30 anthologies including “Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Café”, “Spoken Word Revolution” and “Slam.” He has appeared on two seasons of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, PBS’ “In The Life” and MTV’s “Free Your Mind” Spoken Word Tour. Regie is the recipient of the 10th annual Writers for Writers Award sponsored by Poets & Writers and has received three New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships for Poetry and Multi- Disciplinary Performance.
Tan Lin is a writer, artist, and critic. He is the author of the poetry collections “Lotion Bullwhip Giraffe” (Sun & Moon Press) and “BlipSoak01” (atelos). His visual and video work has been exhibited at the Yale Art Museum (New Haven), the Sophienholm (Copenhagen), and the Marianne Boesky Gallery (New York City). His writing has appeared in a variety of contemporary literary and cultural journals, including Conjunctions, Purple, Black Book, and Cabinet. He is a professor of English and creative writing at New Jersey City University.
Paisley Rekdal is the author of a book of essays, The Night My Mother Met Bruce Lee and three books of poetry, A Crash of Rhinos, Six Girls Without Pants and The Invention of the Kaleidoscope. A hybrid photo-text memoir that combines poems, nonfiction and fiction entitled Intimate is forthcoming from Tupelo. Her work has received a Village Voice Writers on the Verge Award, an NEA Fellowship, a Pushcart Prize, the University of Georgia Press’ Contemporary Poetry Series Award, a Fulbright Fellowship, and the Laurence Goldstein Poetry Prize from Michigan Quarterly Review. Her poems and essays have appeared in or are forthcoming from The New York Times Magazine, American Poetry Review, Ploughshares, Poetry, Virginia Quarterly Review, Tin House, and on National Public Radio among others.
