Fire Is Not a Country: Poems by Cynthia Dewi Oka

5.0

Wow! Cynthia Dewi Oka is truly an incredible poet. It has been so long since I've found a collection of poetry that I found the writing to be so precise and beautiful. I don't even know how to describe what I just read. Even visually on the page, the poems are arranged in different formats, so as you flip through the book it looks dynamic and interesting. There are a few photographs throughout the book and even the descriptions of the photographs at the end are beautiful.

I'm in a book club that exclusively reads AAPI books, and I can't wait to share this book with that group! Thank you so much to netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
