It explores individual identity and how that identity changes through time and influence. The book is divided into three parts. The first section inhabits the landscape of childhood, that of a biracial, multiethnic child as she grapples with understanding the world and her place in it based on what she sees and what she's been taught. The second section moves from childhood and family-of-origin into the world of the adult: relationships, marriage, divorce, and expectations of identity and behavior based on relationship roles. The third section opens up to the larger world and identity in that world, societal expectations and assumptions with respect to identity, the concept of home, memory and time, origins and creation. Recurring juxtapositions of sometimes seemingly disparate things, such as science and religion, myth and math, East and West, coupled with a mix of various poetic forms and styles, strive to work against the declaration of a monolithic identity. The book ends with a nod to the idea that we are multi-dimensional with multiple identities, to the idea that identity is a personal journey and that we have a right and an obligation to identify our own selves" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Poetry. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806023419.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=293CD9DCD98A11E78F813B5397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
