We welcome back June 2025 graduate for the first Kwame Dawes Mapmakers Alumni Institute event of 2027. Carol will be joined in conversation by , whose most recent book of poems, TREE OF KNOWLEDGE, was long listed for the National Book Award. Carol was directly concerned with Victoria Chang's poetry—especially its ekphrastic vision—in the critical essay portion of her thesis, "A Kind of Praying." The reading and conversation will consider Carol's interest in understanding Victoria Chang's habits of mind.

Brought together by the MFA Alumni Council's Pacific Basin committee, the event is free and open to the public. Join us for this fascinating conversation.
