MEET THE AUTHOR: TSERING WANGMO DHOMPA

Meet The Author - Tseing Wangmo Dhompa, our very own Bay Area resident

An opportunity one cannot afford to miss.

It’s happening this Saturday at our community center. Tsering Wangmo la will be reading from her newly published book, A Home in Tibet – followed by Q& A. It will be a perfect opportunity for all to listen to Tsering Wangmo la, and have a copy of the book autographed. The book received rave reviews. We especially encourage students wanting to pursue writing as a career to hear, and interact with Tsering Wangmo la, who is a highly acclaimed author.

A brief bio: Tsering Wangmo Dhompa is the author of three collections of poetry: My rice tastes like the lake, In the Absent Everyday and Rules of the House (all from Apogee Press, Berkeley). My rice tastes like the lake was a finalist for the Northern California Independent Bookseller’s Book of the Year Award for 2012.  Dhompa’s first non-fiction book, A Home in Tibet was published by Penguin, India, in September 2013. She teaches creative writing and is pursuing a PhD degree in Literature at the University of California in Santa Cruz.
