That Woman Could Be You lends a euphoric, nostalgic, and dreamlike beauty to the everydayness of the diurnal tasks of television watching, cooking, grocery shopping, washing dishes, dusting, cleaning, teaching, etc. Nao lives with pain post open-heart surgery and Alexander grieves the death of her brother. This fundamentally sapphic & feminist project explores moving through the world together as women, in Nao's case a queer Vietnamese woman, and the newness of their relationship. "The book, visually, looks stunning--reminds me of The Fear of Losing Eurydice by Julieta Campos--and the poems are so mundanely mystical that there's no difference between the physical and the spiritual, the 'me' and the 'you'." -- Marc Anthony Richardson, American Book Award winner, and author of Year of the Rat and Messiahs "If a love story has a beginning, middle, and end, then this is a book of the middle, of the hundred middles--of the rice, lemons, sweatpants , workdays, rented rooms--that deep connection is made of. Danger, death, and chronic pain wait in the dark, so "we [walk] home like two lamp posts." Familiar and strange, this wonderfully intimate, genre-bending book is a gift of trust to the reader. It's like finding a witty, lyrical letter handwritten on the back pages of a library book you never want to return." -- Brad Aaron Modlin, author of Everyone at this Party Has Two Names"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American literature $y 21st century. 655 7 $a poetry. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300055931 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a PoeÌsie. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000476 700 1 $a Alexander, Jessica $q (Jessica L.), $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217012200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5A9EE312CD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
