 Professor in Global Arts\, Media & Writing Studies Samantha Tetangco Ocena.

 recent book\, Hope You Blend In: Studies in Color & Light. In her powerful 
 debut collection Tetangco Ocena writes from the perspective of a “queer 
 person of color” where the hope of her title is hope of survival\, “for 
 the promise / of home” despite knowing that like an invasive plant 
 species\, “certain visitors are not welcome here.” Tetangco Ocena’s 
 poems explore life in America and how we might care for one another enough 
 to become whole. \n\nEvent Time: Noon - 1pm \n\nEvent Date: Wednesday\,
