War is not my Mother by Vi Khi Nao (English) Paperback Book

Description: War is not my Mother by Vi Khi Nao Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A series of poetic remixes, WAR IS NOT MY MOTHER might be considered a form of spirit possession.Each poem in this manuscript takes up another poets work- a selection that ranges from Lorca to CD Wright, H Xun Hng to Sappho, Agha Shahid Ali to Ishrat Afreen- and alters its DNA, infusing it with an other idiolect. This is an idiolect of pleasure (the wordplay, puns, and cadence of the Vietnamese language) and of pain (the long shadow of the Vietnam war in the lives of those who survived, barely survived, and became refugees). Like any possessing spirit, WAR IS NOT MY MOTHER speaks in tongues: using others words to articulate a personal pain. Shorn of their original context and content, the poems in this collection- mutant-hybrids who retain a trace of their skeleton while dressed in entirely other clothes- become a play of voices that call into question notions of authenticity and self in poetic production, a postmodern twist for the classical craft. Author Biography VI KHI NAO is the author of six poetry collections & of the short stories collection, A Brief Alphabet of Torture (winner of the 2016 FC2s Ronald Sukenick Innovative Fiction Prize), the novel, Swimming with Dead Stars.
