About the Author
Tina Chang is a renowned poet, educator, and the first female Poet Laureate of New York City, where she served from 2018 to 2021. Born in the Philippines and raised in New York, her work deeply explores themes of identity, migration, family, and resilience, often drawing from her multicultural heritage and personal experiences. As a professor of creative writing, she inspires emerging voices through her teaching at institutions like Sarah Lawrence College. Chang's poetry collections, including 'Of Gods & Mortals' and 'Language of My Body,' have earned her fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is also a celebrated editor, co-editing 'The Long Devotion: Poets Writing Motherhood,' a vital anthology that captures the profound intersections of poetry and parenthood.
