SUMMARY:Author Talk: Kao Kalia Yang
DESCRIPTION:Registration recommended. Kao Kalia Yang\, the first author to 
 win Minnesota Book Awards in three categories in the same year\, will talk 
 about her latest book Where Rivers Part. Where her previous award-winning 
 works The Latehomecomer and The Song Poet also explore and honor her Hmong 
 family's heritage\, the author now opens up her mother's journey with a 
 first-person voice that echoes for generations. Her presentation includes 
 the award-winning children's book The Rock in My Throat\, a personal 
 reflection of the author's selective mutism which further expands our 
 opportunity to empathize with the refugee experience from the point of view 
 of her own childhood. \n\nKalia is the Star Tribune's 2024 Artist of the 
 Year and holds an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Carleton 
 College. Her work has been widely honored\, and the writer\, teacher\, and 
 speaker is a McKnight\, Soros\, and Guggenheim fellow. \n\nBooks will be 
 available for purchase and signing.\n\nThis program will be streamed 
 simultaneously on our Facebook page at 
 https://www.facebook.com/CarverCountyLibrary/live and available on our 
 social media after the program.\n\nSponsored by the Library Foundation of 
 Carver County.
