The Korean American writers’ group, The Fourth Kingdom, has met annually at AWP for over a decade, and the Korean American lit community has been ascending, largely due to the writers who have been at its forefront. Inspired by The Fourth Kingdom, a Korean American writers’ group for early career writers, Tiger Balm, has recently materialized. This event will be a tribute to the founders and early members of The Fourth Kingdom while also discussing the next generation of Korean American organizers.
