asians in the library of the world: a persona poem in the voice of alexandra wallace
Loading...
Uploaded by beausia on Mar 16, 2011
after watching "asians in the library," and many subsequent postings in response, i wrote this. rather than attack alexandra wallace for her thoughts, i decided to write a persona piece in her voice, as a means to address some of the greater issues revealed in her rant. in the end, this poem isn't really about her and what she said, but more the thoughts and beliefs people hold, without considering the entire history that may have led them to think and believe in the manner that they do. my hope is that we can all use this moment to recognize that we all need to improve our ability to understand and share this world with each other. this is just a small contribution to furthering that conversation. thank you for listening.

You're amazing. I must admit that I have laughed with the Alexandra haters, but after watching this, I feel humbled and ashamed of my own judgments, which were just as bad as hers. Thank you for the insight.
