45 years after the end of the Vietnam War, Lao American poet Bryan Thao Worra reads from their new collection BEFORE WE REMEMBER WE DREAM (Sahtu Press, 2020) online with Space Cowboy Books in Joshua Tree, California. What does it mean for refugees to remember and to imagine in America? Blending myth, history, pop culture and science fiction, the Lao Minnesotan Poet Laureate shares their verse and will have a brief Q & A observing this milestone for their community. This is their last planned reading for the year.
