Description
Poetry. Asian American Studies. Berkshire Prize for First or Second Book, chosen by D. A. Powell. Entranced by time and location and the body's longings, this is a book of self-translation. Each poem has gone through a transmigration process, as the poet negotiates between her native Chinese and her adopted English, attempting to condense, distill, and expand seeing and understanding.
