by Georgia San Li (Author)
This second chapbook by Georgia San Li includes vivid imprints, part past, part discovery, some shimmer in both love and lamentation. This poetry explores themes of grief, parent and child, mortality and longing. With no set form, the poems shift from fragments of modern life, to the satirical, and the ethereal.
Georgia San Li examines the world of her youth, growing up between South Korea and America. How her family tried to become American while both holding onto and losing their Korean identity. These poems are markers of place and identity, a youth spent pulled between two continents. San Li has divided the manuscript into five pieces representing the four elements and space. These divisions guide the reader to consider the implications of each poem as it relates to these basic elements. She also delves further into examining our place within those spaces.
