Tuck speaks with poet and drag artist Wo Chan (they/them), who performs as the Illustrious Pearl. Topics include: - Re-evaluating the narrative of your book after starting psychoanalysis
- Combining poetry and drag performance into… PowerPoint drag!
- Creating art out of testimonials from your family’s deportation proceedings
- Learning to share without oversharing — and without judging yourself for oversharing
- Plus: Ostrich feathers, Cantopop, loneliness, poop poems, and the stage as a sacrificial altar.
