Asian American Writers Workshop | In Conversation: No’u Revilla and Julian Aguon @AAWWNYC | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This August, the Asian American Writers’ Workshop joins Milkweed Editions in celebrating No’u Revilla‘s debut collection Ask the Brindled, which was selected by poet Rick Barot as a winner of the 2021 National Poetry Series. Praised by Craig Santos Perez as “an astonishing addition to the canon (or canoe) of Pacific Islander literature” this collection reclaims narratives placed upon queer and Indigenous Hawaiians in a “gorgeous unfolding of story and polemic, audacity and song” (Rick Barot).
For this virtual celebration, No’u will be joined in conversation and story by Indigenous human rights lawyer and writer Julian Aguon, author of the lyric essay No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies.
