JPEE student Carlina Duan selected by U.S. Poet Laureate to have collection of poetry published
JPEE student Carlina Duan has been named a runner-up in the Wisconsin Poetry Prize Competition and will have her work published in spring 2021. She was selected by Natasha Tretheway, nineteenth U.S. Poet Laureate, and editors Ron Wallace and Sean Bishop to have a collection of poetry published by the University of Wisconsin Press.
The collection is titled Alien Miss. Author Jasmine An praises Duan’s forthcoming book: “Duan wields her craft with keen intellect and infinite generosity in this ambitious collection that tenderly ushers into existence a glorious host of voices. Hailing the collective grit that undergirds racialized womanhood in America, her poetry becomes a radical invitation to celebrate clear-eyed and unflinching joy.”
Duan also authored the collection I Wore My Blackest Hair.
