The result is the following inquiry into attention, attunement, genre, and other matters of writerly — and human — concern.

John Yau talking to Penn students
Just before his Kelly Writers House reading on Tuesday, April 21, 2015, John Yau spoke with the students in my New American Poetry class, English 288 at Penn. He spoke about a wide variety of topics, including discussion of Further Adventures in Monochrome (first question) and other of his works, poetry and identity, white people playing Asians in Hollywood films, the allure of Humphrey Bogart, and recent poetry convtroversies.
