Abstract

This is a more than capable first book by a Chinese American woman poet whose work evinces great potential. Marilyn Chin is a San Franciscan born in Hong Kong, raised in Oregon, and schooled in the U.S. (Chinese at Massachusetts and creative writing at Iowa). Many of her poems gathered here first saw light in journals like Bridge, Massachusetts Review, New Letters, Kayak and others.
