Through founding Mango Poetry, I aim to create a space on Cornell’s campus in which the poetic voices of members from Asian & Asian American diasporas are uplifted in a way that encourages our distinct, intersectional identities. My group works to foster this culture by reading works by Asian/Asian American poets, reflecting on life experiences through the medium of poetry, and giving student poets the opportunity to practice and share work on a larger platform. Mango Poetry meets every Sunday at the Alternatives Library in Anabel Taylor Hall and holds poetry writing workshops to help attendees hone their written voice.
