Join us for an intimate poetry reading with local poets, Adrienne Chung and Sam Roxas-Chua 姚 (Yao), inside Lan Su's newly reopened Teahouse. Poetic Immersion is a series that features work celebrating the appreciation and submersion into both tea and poetry. These two readers will share poems that immerse the audience in work centering on healing, warmth, patience, the craft of writing, surrounding oneself with words, and the art of tea.
Wednesday, April 17, 2024. 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Seats are limited. Secure your spot. ADMISSION TICKETS HERE »

A recipient of fellowships from MacDowell, Bread Loaf, and the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing, she teaches at the Berlin Writers’ Workshop and is a poetry editor at Sand Journal.
Sam Roxas-Chua 姚 (Yao) is a transracial/transcultural adopted person.
