Mong-Lan

   MONG-LAN, visual artist and writer, came to the United States as a child after the political upheaval of Saigon, Vietnam, in 1975.  Her first book of poems, Song of the Cicadas, won the Juniper Prize and was published by the University of Massachusetts Press. Song of the Cicadas won the Great Lakes Colleges Association’s Prize for New Writers and was a finalist for the Norma Farber First Book Award from Poetry Society of America.  Her poetry has been anthologized in the Pushcart Prize Anthology XXIV, Best American Poetry of 2002, Asian American Anthology: the Next Generation, and in many journals such as The Kenyon Review, Colorado Review, North American Review, and New American Writing.  She received the Dean’s M.F.A. Fellowship from the University of Arizona, a Wallace E. Stegner Fellowship from Stanford University, and a Fulbright Grant to Vietnam.  Recently, in conjunction with the National Endowment for the Arts, she was chosen by the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts to be their first Visual Artist and Poet in Resident.  There, in February 2005, she will show her artwork, give poetry readings, and give workshops to students in the public schools, teachers, and museum students.
