1994 Jakarta, Indonesia. A karaoke number leads to a chance encounter between aspiring singer Sari and zine writer Lisa, making them a hot item in Jakarta’s lesbian party scene. But when Sari is forced to flee to Queens after the fall of Suharto’s U.S.-backed dictatorship, the two must adapt their love to conform to the pressures of survival and migration.

At @berlspoetry I'm curating my first reading! It's on Saturday, September 9, from 3-5pm. This poster was created by one of the readers, Yuri, and you can follow her at www.ello.co/yuricraft
All my readers are my friends who are Asian-American writers and I had them select a fortune cookie slip that I've collected over the years. They can take the entire sentence, a phrase, a number, a word, the translation, or the character, as their prompt, incorporating it however they want, even subverting, as long as we see the connection. Their work can be spoken word, essay, comic, monologue, short story, etc. Just as long as it can be performed in five minutes or less. I'll be reading as well!
Curating my own reading has been a dream of mine for so so long. I can't believe it's coming true in a little over a fortnight. Plus my friends are super talented, I can't wait to see what they come up with! Here's the fb event: /events/462430914112482/?ti=cl
Hope to see you there!
