Through the voice of Nacirema, the central persona of the collection, who is a Filipina American woman with an ambiguous sexual identity, we are introduced to a character who chooses mystery and inhabits landscapes fraught with brutality and beauty. Flawed like America, Nacirema embodies ideas of wanderlust and self-discovery. In poems that recount her journey, Gloria invokes the spirit of 1970s soul music and of jazz, blending the urban lament of Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane with the idiom of Stevie Wonder and Fela Kuti. Sightseer in This Killing City argues for grace and perseverance in these strange times"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Poetry. 650 0 $a American poetry. 650 0 $a Filipino Americans $v Poetry. 650 7 $a POETRY $x Asian American. $x Asian American. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POETRY $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a American poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807348 650 7 $a Filipino Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00924194 650 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067691 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gloria, Eugene. $t Sightseer in this killing city. $d New York : Penguin Books, [2019] $z 9780525505648 $w (DLC) 2018057630 830 0 $a Penguin poets 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806075820.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B8544796B81211E9A4E5754297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
