In her stunning second collection, Carlina Duan illuminates unabashed odes to lineage, small and sacred moments of survival, and the demand to be fully seen 'spangling with light.' Tracing familial lore and love, Duan reflects on the experience of growing up as a diasporic, bilingual daughter of immigrants, exploring the fraught complexities of identity, belonging, and linguistic reclamation. Alien Miss brings forth beautifully powerful voices: immigrants facing the Chinese Exclusion Act, the first Chinese American woman to vote, and matriarchal ancestors. The poems in this ambitious collection are immersed in the knotted blood of sisterhood, both celebrating and challenging conceptions of inheritance and homeland. I browse through archives full of men and women with long black hair, throwing themselves into the land. thread of grass. thread of immaculate touch. paper son, or paper daughter. my own papers marked with wings, the pointed tip of an eagle's beak. here, I'm made prey. I pledge allegiance. -Excerpt from 'Alien Miss Confronts the Author' Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

At the reading she read a powerful poem on language and hate and identity, but my favorite, the one that drove me to the publisher's website to click Buy, was "Possible" — about finding the inspiration to be possible — to be your self and have a voice and claim your space — a bit that stuck in my head (my soul) was about the "purpling" of the lilacs in the backyard. It brought me to tears, but with JOY and POSSIBILITY.
Once I had the collection in my hot little hands, I added more poems to my list of favorites, especially "Love Potion" and "Dear Tinder Screen," but "Possible" remains at the top of the list.
