Designing Women: Tayi Tibble & Shelley Wong

Celebrate two exciting debut poetry collections. Poem by poem, Tayi Tibble carves out a bold new way of engaging history, of straddling modernity and ancestry, desire and exploitation. Shelley Wong celebrates queer and Asian identity in "shape-shifting poems of becoming and knowing, seeing and being seen" (Electric Lit). Moderated by Alyssa Ogi.
