{"product_id":"epicanthus","title":"Epicanthus","description":"Hiromi Yoshida's second poetry chapbook, Epicanthus, offers a lyrical panorama of fortune cookies, TV dinners, Chinese lanterns, and Japanese war brides. Such iconic American commodities and handpicked orientalia coexist with Japanese grandmothers, Taiwanese fathers, and lost-and-found German cousins-unfurling a palimpsest of transpacific Asian American relocations and dislocations, the epicanthus being the arbitrary threshold where the psychodrama of racial identity formation takes place. The hooded eye winks back, a coy invitation to the poet's ingeniously reinvented worlds. At once deeply personal and searingly historical, these new poems provide unforgettable snapshots of Asian American life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1646626605\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1646626605.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yoshida, Hiromi\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
