Since Milkweed Editions original publication ofThe Phoenix Gone, the Terrace Empty, Marilyn Chin has been widely celebrated as a consummate poet of the hybrid experience. At once ancient and contemporary, personal and political, grounded and yet uniquely dazzling, this extraordinary collection blends Asian and Western sensibilities in a pioneering way.Here, with wit and energy, Chin defines her existence as a firstgeneration Asian American woman, effectively straddling two cultures. And she spins virtuoso jazz in her juxtaposition of the contemporary with images and metaphors from Chinese tales and classic poems, creating an expansive poetry of self.Featuring an afterword by the author addressing the collections effect and the developments in her work since, this edition reintroduces a modern classic to a new generation of readers.
