In the month of May, the United States celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

Join us as we explore some unique history and culture of Asian Americans. There will be time for sharing tea and even some poetry; feel free to bring the work of your favorite poet or even one of your own poems to share. No sign-up required.
