What does it mean to steward Asian American literature organizationally, collectively, and individually? The sixth annual Asian American Caucus is a town hall-style hang out and community space. Come meet other Asian American writers and discuss opportunities and resources available to support you. Organized by Kundiman, Asian American Writers' Workshop, Kaya Press, Hyphen Magazine, the Asian American Literary Review, and Smithsonian’s APAC. This meeting will be accessible to in-person and virtual attendees.
