In this highly anticipated and deeply moving debut, Chuqiao Yang explores family, culture, diaspora, and the self's tectonic shifts over time. Yang's poems journey restlessly through recollections of a Saskatchewan childhood, trips to visit family in Taiyuan, and a sojourn across the American South in search of the moments and places where one became a stranger to oneself. "You are a mouse in the backcountry of your memories," writes Yang, "You are a fox in winter, devouring well-meaning friends." Irreverent, fierce, and ceaselessly surprising,
marks the arrival of a unique voice and an unsparing poetic vision.
