Through the recurrence of memory, myth, and grief, 回 / Return
captures the elusory language of sorrow and solitude that binds
Taiwanese diasporic experience. Rooted in the classical tradition
of the Chinese “reversible” poem, 回 / Return is engaged in
the act of looking back—toward an imagined homeland and a
childhood of suburban longing, through migratory passages,
departures, and etymologies, and into the various holes and voids
that appear in the telling and retelling of history. The poems ask:
What is feeling? What is melancholy? Can language translate either?
