SUMMARY:Book Launch | Bone Symphony by Michelle Phương Hồ
DESCRIPTION:Michelle Phương Hồ’s Bone Symphony mines the wreckage of colonialism and imperialist warfare in Vietnam and attempts to reassemble the bones.  \nTold in three movements spanning lyric\, documentary\, and hybrid forms\, Bone Symphony uncovers a world turned upside-down by war: evil is good\, saviors are toddlers\, children die before their mothers\, and civil servants—like the poet’s grandfather—become enemies of the state. The detritus of a shattered nation\, family\, and psyche serve as building blocks Hồ rearranges with playful irreverence\, giving rise to healing poetic turns. One can surrender not just to military powers\, but to love. The prison cell where a dissident is held transforms into the womb of God. In a world where no symbol is stable\, Bone Symphony reorients us toward curiosity\, kinship\, and the kind of mercy that sets free those held captive within our imaginations: “Every face / I’ve ever held / hostage\,” the poet beholds\, “is beginning to bleed.” \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nMichelle Phương Hồ is the author of Bone Symphony (Boa Editions\, 2026)\, chosen by Aracelis Girmay as a Blessing the Boats Selection. Her work appears in Nat Brut\, The Offing\, POETRY\, Poetry Northwest\, and elsewhere. Her honors include a Friends of Literature Award from POETRY\, a Connecticut Artistic Excellence Award\, a BRINK Literary Journal Award for Hybrid Writing\, and fellowships from the Asian Cultural Council\, the I-Park Foundation\, and Vermont Studio Center. She received her MFA in poetry from NYU.

She has received support from the Anderson Center\, Art Omi\, Hedgebrook\, Kundiman\, MacDowell\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Storyknife\, and the Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University.

SUMMARY:FIVE TASTES: An Evening with Fuchsia Dunlop
DESCRIPTION:Fuchsia tackles the “five tastes” which a Chinese chef needs to be able to marshal harmoniously: salty\, sweet\, sour\, bitter and pungent. \n\n\n‘Fuchsia Dunlop has done more to explain real Chinese cooking to non-Chinese cooks than anyone’\, according to The New York Times. Dunlop\, a four-time James Beard award winner and TV food expert (Chef’s Table; Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown) has already explored Hunan cooking and Szechuan food with her large legion of readers. Now\, in her latest book\, she tackles the “five tastes” which a Chinese chef needs to be able to marshal harmoniously: salty\, sweet\, sour\, bitter and pungent. The delectable result might be green beans with “strange-flavor” sauce\, spicy peanut butter noodles\, or a steamed fish that sings with citrus notes. Join Dunlop as she explores the magical complexity of one of the world’s greatest cuisines.
