Without Kundiman, many Asian American poets would not be writing – and therefore not advancing our community’s voices & experiences or helping to transform our American landscape. In 2011, Kundiman has:
• Shared with 200 people Together We Are New York, an innovative multimedia community-based project to document & amplify Asian American experiences related to 9/11;
• Launched Janine Oshiro’s Pier, the first winner of the Kundiman Poetry Prize;
• Had two former fellows win the Chapbook Prizes from the Poetry Society of America; and,
• Continued our hallmark Asian American poets retreat with 23 fellows; and.
In 2012, Kundiman seeks to build on this growth. We hope you will join us in this work to advance our community’s art and voices. Go to www.kundiman.org for more information and to share in poetry!

I am offering discounted holiday gift certificates for my professional organizing services, ranging from a simple consultation to full days of work. I have great references! (but no website -- i work through referral only)

I work in any neighborhood in NYC easily accessible by public transportation

None - contact me directly for further info

Feel free to re-gift! And I also tell clients (post-holiday) that gifts should be about the exchange, and not the actual object. Therefore they shouldn't feel guilty about getting rid of gifts that they really don't like or will use. Getting rid of the scary item from Aunt Mary doesn't mean you want to get rid of Aunt Mary herself!
