These lyrical, narrative, and hybrid poems trace the spiral trajectory of womanhood and growth and plot the progression of self as it ebbs away from and returns to its roots in an Asian American family and context. Locating human desire within the helixes of politics, society, and war, Chang skillfully draws arcs between Tang Dynasty suicides and Alfred Hitchcock leading ladies, between the Hong Kong Flower Lounge and an all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch, the Rape of Nanking and civilian casualties in Iraq.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePoetry\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51866365952288,"sku":"NEW0809326183","price":20.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71NK5XystQL.jpg?v=1781675998","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/circle-crab-orchard-series-in-poetry-0809326183","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
