Join the Portland Chinatown Museum for an evening of poetry with local writers, Jenny M. Chu and Jake Vermaas, part of their ongoing "Stories My Mother and Father Told Me" storytelling series, sponsored in part by Oregon Humanities. Jenny M. Chu will read "My parents owned a restaurant..." The first time this story was told to anyone in this form was at the Restaurant Babies event curated by Seattle-based poet, Jane Wong at the Wing Luke Museum earlier this month on April 4. This is the second and maybe last time this story will be told in this form, in this way. Jake Vermaas's presentation of "Where I got that name" and "First Fruits" evolved from a pecha kucha that was performed at APANO's Climate, Health, and Housing (CHHI) Summit this winter, and the poems were first performed at the AWP Filipinx reading in March 2019. Tickets (includes admission to Museum exhibitions) $10/Museum Members $12/Museum Non-Members
