John Yau
from Bookworm
Paradiso Diaspora (Penguin)In a searching inquiry into the language of poetry, John Yau talks about avoiding autobiography while creating poetry that reflects his Chinese-American background--the influence of what he calls "Ing Grish." We explore the evolution of a dream language that is, in itself, an aesthetic of diaspora.
