On AAWW TV, our new YouTube channel, you can relive the magic of live events at our space in Chelsea, check out in-depth interviews with writers, and more. Every Thursday we’ll be sharing a new segment from AAWW TV on The Margins.
Poet Claudia Rankine reads poems from Citizen: An American Lyric, which is a response to America’s racist history, microaggressions and police brutality. She is followed by feminist Eco-poet Hoa Nguyen who shares from Red Juice and As Long As Trees Last, two of her poetry collections. Then, queer Chicano poet and author Rigoberto Gonzalez moderates a Q&A session with Rankine and Nguyen.
