The Kingdom of Surfaces: Poems by Sally Wen Mao

4.0

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher of Graywolf Press and the author Sally Wen Mao for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I highly anticipated this collection of poetry and if you're a fan of Oculus, you're bound to like it. This collection is an improvement in Mao's poetry with her focus on Chinese history, Chinese American diaspora, and social injustice. I always love her fixation on Anna May Wong. No one is devoted to Anna May Wong like Mao is. I'm excited to see Mao's writing in the form of prose.
