SUMMARY:TAP-NY Book Club: Minor Feelings by Cathy Park Hong [Virtual]
DESCRIPTION:For this book club\, we’ll be discussing Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong. The daughter of Korean immigrants\, Cathy Park Hong grew up in America steeped in shame\, suspicion\, and melancholy. She would later understand that these “minor feelings” occur when American optimism contradicts your own reality. With sly humor and a poet’s searching mind\, Hong uses her own story as a portal into a deeper examination of racial consciousness. This intimate and devastating book traces her relationship to the English language\, to shame and depression\, to poetry and artmaking\, and to family and female friendship. A radically honest work of art\, Minor Feelings forms a portrait of one Asian American psyche – and of a writer’s search to both uncover and speak the truth. \nRead or listen to the book in advance\, and join us to share thoughts at our virtual event! We’ll be hosting on Google Meet and will send the link to registered participants prior to the event. \nAbout the author\nCathy Park Hong is the author of three poetry collections including Dance Dance Revolution\, chosen by Adrienne Rich for the Barnard Women Poets Prize\, and Engine Empire. Hong is a recipient of the Windham-Campbell Literature Prize\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. Her poems have been published in Poetry\, The New York Times\, The Paris Review\, McSweeney’s\, Boston Review\, and other journals. She is the poetry editor of The New Republic and full professor at the Rutgers University–Newark MFA program in poetry. Learn more about her and her books here. \n
