David talks writing with New Orleans-based writer Carmin Wong.

Carmin is a Guyanese-born poet, playwright, and MFA student at the University of New Orleans. Often incorporating Caribbean dialect, her writing binds the essence of oral and literary traditions. As a youth, she first competed in poetry slams and readings at Lincoln Center, The Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Scholastic Auditorium, and later, for companies like the Shakespeare Theater Company. Her playwriting stage-debut occurred in 2018, where she was featured in the Women's Voices Theater Festival. Her poem, “Broken English,” was recently published by Antenna Press. Wong is the current Associate Poetry Editor of Bayou Magazine.
