Review of the Milkweed Editions paperback (January 2022)
There was much joy in life, nature, food and family to love in this first collection by American poet Jennifer Huang who is on Taiwanese heritage. Several of the poems relate to her travels to Taiwan to understand her roots and these had the greatest resonance for me due to my own 'child of immigrants' background. But the nature poems about walks, rocks, creeks and those of the appreciation of food and taste such as Notes on Orange and song of chou doufu all had unique perspectives which sang with their own beauty.
There is a generous 5 page series of Notes on the poems giving the background on the Taiwanese and/or Chinese cultural references. Return Flight was the 10th winner of the Ballard Spahr Prize for Poetry, previously the Lindquist and Vennum Prize for Poetry, established in 2011.
