SUMMARY:Mai Der Vang presents Primordial\, in conversation with Monica Sok
DESCRIPTION:Join AAWW and McNally Jackson Books for a celebration of Primordial by Mai Der Vang\, featuring Monica Sok! \nMai Der Vang’s poetry—lyrically insistent and visually compelling—constitutes a groundbreaking investigation into the collective trauma and resilience experienced by Hmong people and communities\, the ongoing cultural and environmental repercussions of the war in Vietnam\, the lives of refugees afterward\, and the postmemory carried by their descendants. Primordial is a crucial turn to the ecological and generational impact of violence\, a powerful and rousing meditation on climate\, origin\, and fate. \n
