In this short speech, I present a poem I wrote interpreting the primary ideas conveyed in Cathy Park Hong’s Minor Feelings. I talk about one of the two themes referenced in that poem: a sense of being an outsider that many Americans belonging to minority communities are familiar with. I show the prevalence of this idea even across the very diverse works we have studied in this class by talking about how it comes up in Terese Marie Mailhot’s Heart Berries and the film Reel Injun.
