FEEDBACK

Feedback is a pan-Asian, New York City based performance poetry troupe whose eight poets, one musician, and one activist speak the words needed to be spoken to initiate dialogue and give voice to new chapters of consciousness. Threaded with elements of hip hop to han, lumpia to 'a little bit louder', salsa to Sunnyside, their eclectic language is a voice of resistance against the misconceptions that bind Asian America. They have helped to create (re)collection, an open mic series sponsored by The Asian American Writers' Workshop that provides an "open space to recollect the spirits and stories of Asian Pacific America."

Feedback is also an active of "Poetry: Brought to you by Letter A," a program that visits different schools in the New York City area to teach Asian American Literature and to run writing workshops.

Beau Sia, Ishle Yi Park and Mas Yamagata of the FeedBack Poets Collective will present at ECASU 2002.
