The backdrop: Vietnamese tonality, displacement, and reclamation. Cicadas arrive onstage. Cows arrive onstage. An odyssey of someone walking on her knees across an entire country makes a video onstage. This is Terazawa's third poetry collection, a wonder of light upon diacritic marks, layers of breathless music uneasy with its hybrid nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContemplating fraught intersections between a mother's language of Vietnamese and craft considerations of Japanese-English meter, \u003ci\u003eOracular Maladies\u003c\/i\u003e forms a series of six spoken \"scores\" mirroring the tonal arc of a musical variety show familiar to the Vietnamese diaspora, \"Paris by Night.\" These poems are like a VHS box set dusted off for the first time after decades. Projective verse and prayers flash across the page. The melodrama receives respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 6.23 x 8.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 15, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45995813929157,"sku":"9781955992701","price":25.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/tTgJXeOlD-9781955992701.webp?v=1774306338","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/oracular-maladies-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
