Description: Epicanthus by Hiromi Yoshida Epicanthus, offers a lyrical panorama of fortune cookies, TV dinners, Chinese lanterns, and Japanese war brides. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Hiromi Yoshidas second poetry chapbook, Epicanthus, offers a lyrical panorama of fortune cookies, TV dinners, Chinese lanterns, and Japanese war brides. Such iconic American commodities and handpicked orientalia coexist with Japanese grandmothers, Taiwanese fathers, and lost-and-found German cousins-unfurling a palimpsest of transpacific Asian American relocations and dislocations, the epicanthus being the arbitrary threshold where the psychodrama of racial identity formation takes place. The hooded eye winks back, a coy invitation to the poets ingeniously reinvented worlds. At once deeply personal and searingly historical, these new poems provide unforgettable snapshots of Asian American life. Author Biography HIROMI YOSHIDA, one of Bloomingtons finest and most outspoken poets, is a finalist for the 2019 New Womens Voices Chapbook Competition for Icarus Burning. Her poems have been nominated for inclusion in the Sundress Best of the Net Anthology; selected for inclusion in the INverse Poetry Archive; and published in The Asian American Literary Review, Discover Nikkei, Gidra, Evergreen Review, and The Rain, Party, & Disaster Society. Hiromi repurposes Met Store catalogs, illuminated manuscript wall calendars, and Vanity Fair magazine issues, to create collage works with titles such as Exhibit A, Ménage-a-Trois, Jouissance, and The World after the Fall of Icarus. She also uses chopsticks to make scrambled eggs, and forks to eat cup ramen noodles at midnight.
