This reading and craft talk features three writers who blur genre conventions. George Abraham, Sam Cha, and Krysten Hill blend and expand the limits of lyric essays, prose poems, visual narratives, and multilingual writing to address issues that orbit race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and nationality. Each will read from their latest work and discuss how their respective identities inform their choices to surpass and defy expectations of genre. Moderated by Carissa Halston.
