I will admit, some of the poems in this collection were a little too abstract for me. But others were welcomed punches in the gut. I like a lot of the contradictions Chen uses. They don't always feel like they should make sense, but they do. I really like "Poem in Noisy Mouthfuls". I would like to check out more of Chen's poetry in the future.

"In this ferocious and tender debut, Chen Chen investigates inherited forms of love and family -- the strained relationship between a mother and son, the cost of necessary goodbyes -- all from Asian American, immigrant, and queer perspectives. Holding all accountable, this collection fully embraces the loss, grief, and abundant joy that come with charting one's own path in identity, life, and love. When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities. To be a season of laughter when my father says his coworker is like that, he can tell because the guy wears pink socks, see, you don't, so you can't, you can't be one of them. To be the one my parents raised me to be. A season from the stormiest planet. A very good feeling with a man. Every feeling, in pink shoes. Every step, hot pink."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

...Trying to get
over what my writer friend said, All you
write about is being gay or Chinese.
Wish I had thought to say to him, All you
write about is being white
or an asshole. Wish I had said, No, I
already write about everything --
& everything is salt, noise, struggle, hair,
carrying, kisses, leaving, myth, popcorn
mothers, bad habits, questions.
So full of joy and seeking and finding and sticking by your own truth. LOVED THIS. ( )
