Human Spellings: Writing Relation

Join writers Hiromi Goto, Rita Wong and Larissa Lai for readings of their work and a discussion about their writing practices in the context of community, justice, and subjectivity. All three writers share a concern with how to enact a self and a writing voice, under national and global conditions of inequity, violence and injustice. They engage the power of language and the imagination to help us understand how we might be or become human in relation to one another and in relation to other beings– animal, vegetable and elemental.
