The Kingdom of Surfaces: Poems by Sally Wen Mao

4.0

This was my first book by Mao that I've read. (I have her other two poetry books bookmarked for later!) This poetry collection was marvelous in its language, juxtaposing past and present in poems about the Chinese-American diaspora and social injustices. Reading this collection once through, I now want to read it again. There's so much layered in each poem that deserves many more reads.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
