experimental without forgetting the fundamental meat and potatoes of poetry—compelling voices and stories, images that will stick with you for hours after reading, and metaphors that will just flat out amaze you,” said Nick Lantz, assistant professor of creative
writing. “Chen's book has a lot to offer students of poetry but also presents a captivating story that anyone will find accessible and moving.”</span><o:p></o:p></font></p>
