Slam Poet Alvin Lau
(Special Event)
Alvin Lau is a performance poet, working artist, and Chicago native. Combining an academic background with the fierce delivery of an emcee, Alvin performs with a bold, imaginative style that has been described as "Billy Collins meets Kanye West." The son of first-generation Chinese immigrants, he often speaks of the Asian-American experience, with subjects ranging from Tiger Woods' arrogance, to the importance of retaining native language, to the desexualization of Asian men in the media.
