On Sunday, August 3, 2025 at 7:00PM-8:00PM, Professor and poet Lan P. Duong visits the store to discuss her poetry and work as an editor for various anthologies. Her collection of poetry Nothing Follows published in 2023, draws from the genres of memoir and poetry. Written from a young refugee girl’s perspective, the center of this world is a military father, an absent mother, sisters who come and go, broken brothers, and friends she meets in San José. In marking the journey, Lan Duong recreates the portraits of the girl’s friends and family and maps out refugee girlhoods. Recently, she edited and contributed to The Cleaving: Vietnamese Writers in the Diaspora. She is joined in conversation by UW American Ethnic Studies Associate Professor Linh Thủy Nguyễn.
