The poet and artist Dao Strom will perform on Wednesday, February 19th, at 8 p.m. at The Powerhouse at Amherst College. The event, sponsored by the Amherst College Creative Writing Center, is free and open to the public and will be followed by refreshments.

Dao Strom’s work explores hybridity through melding disparate “voices”—written, sung, visual—to contemplate the intersection of personal and collective histories. The New Yorker has called her work “Quietly beautiful… hip without being ironic.” She makes music as The Sea & The Mother, and is the author of five books, including a bilingual poetry/art book, a hybrid-form memoir with a song-cycle, a collection of novellas, and a novel. She is a founding member of She Who Has No Master(s), a collective project of women artists of the Vietnamese diaspora, as well as the editor of diaCRITICS.
