Dao Strom is a poet, musician, writer, and interdisciplinary artist who works with three “voices”—written, sung, visual—to explore hybridity and the intersection of personal and collective histories. She is the author/composer of several hybrid literary/music works, including the poetry-art collection, INSTRUMENT (which won the 2022 Oregon Book Award for Poetry), and its musical companion of song-poems, TRAVELER’S ODE; and the forthcoming TENDER REVOLUTIONS/YELLOW SONGS (2025). Strom’s work includes both solo and collaborative projects, music/poetry performance, public art, and visual-poetry installations, and has received support from the Creative Capital Foundation, NEA, Oregon Community Foundation, and others. She is the co-founder of She Who Has No Master(s), a collective of Vietnamese women writers making polyvocal poetry-art works; and De-Canon, a literary social art project centering BIPOC writers. Born in Vietnam, Strom lives in Portland, Oregon.
