Overview

One moment you're too white to understand, the next you're brown enough to be claimed. Kayla Pica Williams brings the bicultural experience alive. Pica is pulled between the white mainstream culture and brown Peruvian heritage, struggling to find identity in a world where the expectations of others often limits diversity of expression. She fearlessly engages issues of immigrant life while utilizing various experimental forms to discuss the intricacies of multicultural trauma, erosion of familial traditions, the complications of teaching across ethnic boundaries, and communicating through hostile language barriers. #immigrants #bicultural #Peruvian #American #poetry
