For UNC professor Carlina Duan, poetry lives on beyond the page

It’s National Poetry Month, and Carolina Connection’s Anthony Guerra-Flores is joined by poet and scholar Carlina Duan, a UNC assistant professor of English. 

Her work is electric and deals with the ghosts who guide us in the natural world, identity and reestablishing identity, language, and the physical materialities of the world around us, as well as personal lineage. 

She has written two poetry collections: I Wore My Blackest Hair in 2017 and Alien Miss in 2021. She is working on her third collection.
