by Kimi Sugioka (Author)
"Sugioka's poems conjure like ancient spells... Wile & Wing is a lyrical documentation of our histories and myths, and beckons us to remember who we are." --MK Chavez, author of Dear Animal
"Wile & Wing spans a lifetime of experiences and illuminates the reader with an incantatory sensibility. Powerful and poignant..." --Maw Shein Win, author of Invisible Gifts
In Wile & Wing, poetic explorations of this place we call "home" investigate invisible borders, systemic inequity, family dynamics, love, and social justice as these themes intertwine with richly drawn imagery from the natural world where birds take wing, feathers scatter, and moonflowers bloom.
