The Phoenix Gone, the Terrace Empty

Author: Marilyn Chin
ISBN: 9780915943876

In this dazzling collection, full of wit and energy, Marilyn Chin defines her existence as a first-generation Asian-American woman, effectively straddling two cultures. Chin spins virtuoso jazz in her juxtaposition of the contemporary with images and metaphors from Chinese tales and classic poems, creating a poetry of self that is at once ancient and contemporary, Asian and Western.
