An Evening of Poetry with Chrysanthemum Tran

Join the MCC as we welcome Chrysanthemum Tran, a queer and trans Vietnamese-American poet, performer, and educator. Having first made history in 2016 as the first transfeminine finalist of the Women of the World Poetry Slam, she is currently the highest ranked trans woman slam poet in the world. Chrysanthemum’s writing has been featured in Them., The offing, Bettering American Poetry Anthology, among others. Her work explored the continuing legacies of the Vietnam War, histories of queer policing and visibility, and her experiences as a trans woman of color surviving today. 

We invite you to spend an evening of poetry in our very own lounge with Chrysanthemum, Tuesday, October 16th at 7:30 PM. Hope to see you there!
