Animated by a restless inner questioning, these poems meditate on the forces that moor the self and set it in motion, from immigration to travel to estranging losses and departures. The sensual worlds here--colors, smells, tastes, and changing landscapes--bring to life questions about the self as seer and the self as seen. As Xie writes, "Me? I'm just here in my traveler's clothes, trying on each passing town for size." Her taut, elusive poems exult in a life simultaneously crowded and quiet, caught in between things and places, and never quite entirely at home. Xie is a poet of extraordinary perception--both to the tangible world and to "all that is untouchable as far as the eye can reach.""--Amazon.com. 586 $a Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, 2017. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Travel $v Poetry. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 21st century. 650 0 $a American poetry $x Asian American authors $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204094644.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110081031.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402023257.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180515010546.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=618E774C580511E8A8F83C5097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
