Notable Speaking Engagements
In July of 2014, on a panel at the Museum of Chinese in America, Re-imagining Asian American (and American) Poetry, Marilyn Chin read, spoke, and performed as a panelist along with Dorothy J. Wang, Paolo Javier, and John Yau. Yau describes the experience as a co-panelist with Chin and reader of her poetry in his article, “Marilyn Chin: Poet, Translator, Provocateur,” on Hyperallergic.
At the Association of Writers & Writing Programs Conference in March of 2018, Marilyn Chin participation on the panel, From the Stanza to the Paragraph: Poets Who Write Prose. The session explored the questions: “Why do poets turn to writing prose? What can a poem say that prose cannot and vice versa? Is the reason one chooses to write in one genre over the other about audience? About subject matter? What steps or process does a writer take to move from poetry to prose? How does being a poet impact one’s prose style?”
