Part I: Raised by fundamentalist and scrupulous parents, Carol Park has trekked miles, married a Korean American and lived in Japan–all contributing to a transformed identity. Her poems reflect traveling toward love, embracing self, beauty, and an evolving understanding of truth. Her poems and narration will unpack: My Start: fears, resentments, and hiding of my authentic self. Changed–from obsessive toward agency. From whiteness to intercultural and interreligious and thriving liberated artist.
Part II- the Writing Journey–How to grow as a writer –a little on inspiration, revising, online resources (classes, mentors, etc), and publishing.
