INDIANAPOLIS — Acclaimed poet Teresa Mei Chuc, who came to the United States from her native Vietnam as a child refugee in the 1970s, will read and discuss her work March 16 at the University of Indianapolis.
Her appearance, part of UIndy’s Kellogg Writers Series, will take place at 7:30 p.m. March 16 in Room 010 of Schwitzer Student Center, 1400 E. Hanna Ave. Admission is free.
Now a public school teacher in Los Angeles, Mei Chuc has published two full-length collections of poetry, Red Thread: Poems (Fithian Press, 2012) and Keeper of the Winds (FootHills Publishing, 2014).
