In recognition of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Asian American Writers’ Workshop (AAWW) presents a reading and celebration of Pacific Islander poetry, hosted by Craig Santos Perez, and featuring William Nu'utupu Giles, Jocelyn Kapumealani Ng, and No'u Revilla. These writers, activists, educators, organizers, and innovators are redefining Indigenous identity, examining human relationships to the environment in a time of climate crisis, supporting contemporary protest movements, and allowing us to imagine a more sustainable future. The AAWW is a non-profit organization dedicated to holding space for community, and to uplifting the Asian diasporic and Pacific Islander literary culture of tomorrow.
