Visual poet Monica Ong grew up as a pretty creative kid. She had a deep interest in photography and print artistry, but she also had a deep love for language.
Mixing these two mediums has resulted in something she calls visual poetry: an alchemy of text and image where the elements of an image, also make up a poem.
She joins us this hour to talk about her work and her new book Planetaria where she explores astronomy, motherhood and the diaspora identity.
