"Letter to the Editor of the Woodside Plantation Newsletter" A Poem by Lindsay Gacad

This poem was written in an epistolary form to help process a traumatic event and the anger associated with it. While writing it, many other moments from the past came to light and started to form a complex and messy story of what it means to be an Asian-American woman in this country. It was written nearly three years ago, but continues to be relevant today.

This poem was performed as part of the Norwich Voices International Women's Day 2021 event in February. Gacad's reading is from ~34:40 to ~38:43
