Wendy Chin-Tanner, Chinese-American Author and Poet

Though Wendy's analytical mind enabled her to transcend her circumstances as a young woman, sustaining her creativity as an artist requires her to delve into her unconscious. Raised in Brooklyn in a chaotic family and educated at Cambridge, Wendy reckons with internal conflict in a variety of ways. Here, she talks us through the role of race, class and gender in shaping her relationship with anger - how it manifested as an adaptive tool for protecting a tender heart, and how anger evolved through her life. Wendy also shares how motherhood helped her break free from a decade of writer's block. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
