Wendy Chin-Tanner, author of the poetry collections Turn (a finalist for
the Oregon Book Awards) and Anyone Will Tell You (both from Sibling Rivalry
Press), as well as co-author of the graphic novel American Terrorist (A
Wave Blue World), is the mother of two daughters, married to a graphic
novelist, co-founder of A Wave Blue World, and the proud daughter of
immigrants. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and educated at Cambridge, she
talks with us about how racism kept her from writing for a decade and
motherhood brought her back. If ever there was an artist who was able to
talk with deep eloquence and insight about the necessity of a creative life
when you are a mother, it is Wendy.
