Where I am & Where I’m going
I am currently pursuing a Masters in Library & Information Science at San Jose State University with the goal of pursuing public librarianship and/or archival work in analog media, related to world cinema.
Equipped with my typewriter (1975~ Adler Contessa) and a healthy dose of curiosity, I also typewrite bespoke poems for fellow earthlings.
Passions / Interests:
– circular economy
– disability rights
– human-centered development
– experimental theater / clown / poetry
– archival science / public librarianship
Where I’ve been / Bio:
Born and raised in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley, Lauren Yang observes all that moves and stands around her as she transmutes what she sees and hears into poetry. Committed to whimsy and the absurd, she performs in local clown shows alongside typewriting bespoke poems and sharing her poetry at local readings and community events. Lauren aims to love deeply and live furiously with every last spark of energy she can muster and hopes that her work highlights all that connects us.
