Description
Poetry. Asian American Studies. ARDOR is a book-length poem comprised of lucid dreams, letters, and prayers with the sensual feminine awareness of C. D. Wright, the radiant spirituality of Fanny Howe, the playful erudition of Anne Carson, and the linguistic play of Myung Mi Kim. Ardor employs ecstatic utterances, linguistic migrations, silences, and women's voices in a feminine consciousness lingering on the mystery of love and glossolalia, speaking tongues in the context of a lyric postmodern aesthetic.
