About 100 Words by Damon Potter & Truong Tran

Written as a conversation engaged over the course of 100 words. It is an exchange of ideas, dialogues, burdens and ideals between someone Brown and someone White. It is an attempt by one to put the weight down and another’s willingness to pick it up. It is a private conversation made public. It is an exchange, a negotiation, discoveries. I did not know this about myself. You crossed the street or was it I? We walk and this weight, we are still carrying it together.

Truong Tran was born in Saigon, Vietnam. He is the author of five previous collections of poetry, The Book of Perceptions, Placing the Accents, Dust and Conscience, Within The Margins, and Four Letter Words. He also authored the children’s book, Going Home Coming Home, an artist monograph, I Meant To Say Please Past the Sugar. His poems have been translated into Spanish, French and Dutch. He is the recipient of The Poetry Center Prize, The Fund For Poetry Grant, The California Arts Council Grant and numerous San Francisco Arts Commission Grants. He lives in San Francisco and currently teaches at Mills College, Oakland.

Damon Potter lives and works in San Francisco. Poems have previously published in Elderly, and Mirage #4/Period[ical].
