We are grateful to have a vibrant community of writers and readers around the country and take pride in uplifting Asian American voices from regions less often highlighted. This week, we’re excited to spotlight our Midwest Regional Group for our Kundiman Forever: Near and Far campaign.
Our Midwest Regional Group spans the largest number of states in the country, serving 12 states from Kansas to Ohio. In 2022, they gathered over 200 writers for a series of six poetry readings. Several of these events, hosted in partnership with The Chicago Poetry Center, featured both readings and open-mic portions for the audience. It brings us great joy to see this beautiful community flourishing, and we know how important it is to continue fostering these spaces of creativity and conversation.
We’re so grateful to the 27 donors who have helped us raise $4,125 already! Now, we want to offer you a gift in return: if you create or upgrade a recurring donation of $10/month or more, we’ll send you a set of newly designed postcards featuring writers from seven of Kundiman’s Regional Groups. Help us continue supporting the Asian American voices near and far by donating to Kundiman today.
Thank you to each and every one of you for cultivating this community with us. Your presence and support is such a gift as we work to build a world that celebrates Asian American stories everywhere.
