Praise for Marilyn Chin "With biting sarcasm and caustic tone (just two of the weapons in her rhetorical arsenal), [Marilyn Chin] makes individual despair an allegory for society's ills, in a larger process of unifying opposites, formally joining East with West, thematically conflating life with death, as of course they always are....

Praise for Marilyn Chin "With biting sarcasm and caustic tone (just two of the weapons in her rhetorical arsenal), [Marilyn Chin] makes individual despair an allegory for society's ills, in a larger process of unifying opposites, formally joining East with West, thematically conflating life with death, as of course they always are.... She inflects received concepts and categories with a vision of meaningful, hidden connection." -Henry Louis Gates Jr., Anisfield-Wolf Book Award chair "Marilyn Chin's poems excite and incite the imagination through their brilliant cultural interfacings, their theatre of anger, 'fierce and tender,' their compassion, and their high mockery of wit. Reading her, our sense of the possibilities of poetry is opened further, and we feel again what an active, powerful art it can be." -Adrienne Rich "In [Marilyn Chin's] poem-songs, counterparts make a counterpoint of sorrow and glee." -Joy Harjo "[Chin's] poems combine sumptuous imagery and a startling, articulate intelligence to explore and record the horrifying as well as the satisfying, the seductive components of hyphenated American identity." -June Jordan "In true pioneering spirit, Hong Kong-born Marilyn Chin both celebrates her hyphenated heritage and rues the conflicts that arise from her daily interface with the mainstream. Her writing is electric and more than a little mischievous; she is cagey in the way that any good prophetess knows is the way to survive." -Rita Dove, Washington Post "Chin's dazzling longing creates a past that becomes essential to our understanding of her elliptical and passionately insistent poetic statement." -Carol Muske Dukes, Los Angeles Times
