🌟Global Guest
Victoria Chang is an American poet, writer, editor, and critic. She has experimented with different styles of writing, including writing poems shaped in obituaries, for parts of her life, including her parents and herself, in OBIT, letters in Dear Memory: Letters on Writing, Silence, and Grief, and a Japanese form known as waka in The Trees Witness Everything. In all of her poems and books, Chang has several common themes: living as an Asian-American woman, depression, and dealing with loss and grief. She has also written three books for children
🌟Global Content
Throughout the episode, Victoria shares insights into her creative process, the evolution of her poetry collections and how writing serves as a medium for understanding life and loss. We also delve into her experience as a Chinese-American woman, exploring themes of cultural disconnection and identity anxiety. Victoria opens up about her relationship with her mother, the complexities of being a daughter and a mother herself, and how caregiving across generations has shaped her perspective on love, loss, and legacy.

🌟About Echora
Echora is a community for cultural resonance initiated by veteran humanities creators—translators, freelance writers, literary editors, and more. It dedicates itself to exploring an ecology of humanities and social sciences content that carries intellectual depth yet remains accessible, profound without being obscure.
We regularly craft fluid conversational gatherings in urban humanities spaces, where through diverse perspectives we perceive, unpack, and confront the plights of real life. May the contours of growth become threads weaving through each other’s lives; may we find, within this spiritual aura, the courage to face life head-on.
