Yang is the author of the acclaimed The Late Homecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir, The Song Poet, as well as a wide array of adult, young adult, and children’s books. Her works have won seven Minnesota Books Awards, among other honors. She is a McKnight Arts Fellow and a frequent lecturer.

The event is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 6:00 with seating on a first come, first served basis.
