Making Poetry Fun and Daring:
An interview with award-winning poet Victoria Chang

Intreview and transcript by Nomaris Garcia Rivera for Public Seminar
 Victoria Chang is a Chinese American poet whose writing explores themes of death and grief. In her new book The Trees Witness Everything (Copper Canyon Press, 2022) Chang explores how we experience grief over time, and how nature experiences it along with us. Informed by the pandemic, the theme of isolation is ever-present in the book.

Nomaris Garcia Rivera: What is this book, The Trees Witness Everything, about—and can you tell our readers about the experience of writing it?
Victoria Chang: If I were to say that The Trees Witness Everything is about something, I would say it’s about existentialism, being alive, and finding meaning in our presence here, especially during a pandemic.
