Marshall Islander poet and spoken word artist Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner wrote three poems to process her grief for Micronesian poet and scholar Teresia Teaiwa, who passed away in March of 2017. Teresia’s work explored themes of cultural appropriation and erasure throughout Micronesia, and drew attention to the history of nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands. A mentor and friend, she will be missed. Photo credit: Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner
