Why hasn't an Asian American been named Poet Laureate?
In my latest blog, I delved into why an Asian American has yet to be named Poet Laureate. It's a complex issue, rooted in the lack of representation and visibility of Asian American voices in the literary world. Despite the rich and diverse talents in the community, cultural and language barriers can limit their exposure and recognition. Furthermore, traditional western literary canon often overlooks Asian American contributions. It's high time to shine a light on these untapped talents and make the field of poetry more inclusive.
