Eric Wang: Spotlight on Artists from the Asian Diaspora

<p>Eric joined us over Zoom to read us his poem Weatherman Elegy, a poem of mourning he wrote after realizing how many years it's been since he flipped open the Weather Channel. This poem is a reflection on the mysterious phenomenon of family,  looking back through child's eyes.  Eric is a student and aspiring writer residing in Scarborough. He is the recipient of the Jasun Singh Memorial Award in Creative Writing from UTSC, and he also won first prize in the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CcEVgTqPVD8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank">2020 Hart House Review Poetry Contest.</a> This fall, Eric will be pursuing a master's degree in creative writing on the west coast.  You can find some of his work in publications such as Guernica, PRISM International, Contemporary Verse 2 and elsewhere.
