Kao Kalia will be joined by her father, Bee Yang who will open and close the evening with song poetry, kwv txhiaj, adding another layer to the poignant accounts of the Hmong fleeing the mountains of Laos, through the refugee camps of Thailand and to new struggles in the United States. Kalia credits her father as one of her most important literary influences. She writes, “Your songs, sung and unsung, guide me in each story I encounter.”
