Professor Tsering Wangmo Dhompa was featured in
Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, in a biographical piece written by Emily DeMaioNewton. The piece marks the publication of Dr. Wangmo Dhompa's latest book of poetry,
Revolute, and highlights both her trailblazing achievements (she is the first Tibetan woman to publish poetry in English) and her complex life story (she was born on a train in India to exiled Tibetan parents). Dr. Wangmo Dhompa was raised by her mother in India and Nepal and, following her mother's death, enrolled in an MFA program in San Francisco because "she thought that keeping busy and being in an unfamiliar place might help lessen the pain of loss." Since then, Dr. Wangmo Dhompa earned her PhD and has written many chapbooks and books of poetry, as well as a memoir. You can learn more about her work and her life by reading the
article from
Tricycle.
