Love Letters to The Dirty South: A Community Conversation with Author Dr. Thao Ha

Join us for a community conversation with Dr. Thao Ha, author of Love Letters to the Dirty South . Love Letters to the Dirty South is a memoir about what it means to love, long for, and lose someone incarcerated. A testament to lifelong love, it is also an unflinching depiction of prison culture, a loving portrait of family life in the Vietnamese diaspora community, and a counternarrative to the typical immigrant’s story. Dr. Thao Ha will be in conversation with Eddy Zheng from New Breath Foundation to discuss the entanglement and impacts of the carceral system on the Vietnamese American refugees and their families. Following a brief talk about her journey, the floor will open for an interactive Q&A and refreshments. Copies of the book will be available for purchase by the Friends of the Tully Library and a portion of proceeds will go toward library programs. Free. No registration required.
