Fiction Poetry
This debut collection of vivid, lyrical poems explores the
emotional landscape of childhood without confession and
without straightforward narrative. Chang sweeps together
myth and fairy tale, skirting the edges of events to focus
on the psychological tenor of experience: the underpinnings
of identity and the role of nature in both constructing and
erasing a self. From the edge of the ocean, where things
constantly shift and dissolve, through "the forest's thick,
/ where the trees meet the dark," to an imaginary cliffside
town of fog, this book makes a journey both natural and
psychological, using experiments in language and form to
capture the search for personhood and place.
