A somewhat challenging but striking collection that utilizes Agnes Martin’s oeuvre to explore, through shape poems, themes of identity, grief, and death. Chang’s style deceives, it might seem simple upon a first read, but much like Martin’s work, it contains a terrible weight in its lines. An inspiring read.
