From 2009–2022, Lantern Review created a space for contemporary Asian American poetry and its writers and readers. From a scrappy blog and magazine to years of inventive and memorable events, Lantern Review is a beacon for how Asian American literary stewardship has looked like in the past. Now, its legacy is in the process of being archived at the Asian American Literary Archive. Join the Asian American Literary Archive, Lantern Review, and Kearny Street Workshop as we celebrate the Lantern Review legacy, launch the first collections page at the Asian American Literary Archive, and discuss the literary spaces we are still making and the literary spaces we deserve.
