Fierce, raw, and unapologetic, Janice Mirikitani's poetry and prose
are as vibrant and resonant today as when these two collections
were first published in 1978 and 1987. Now back in print in one
volume, Awake in the River and Shedding Silence epitomizes
Mirikitani's singular voice-one that is brash, sexual, politically
outspoken, and unconcerned with pandering to mainstream audiences.
An influential artist and activist, Mirikitani has advanced the
causes of women of color feminisms, global anti-imperialism, and
Afro-Asian solidarity for more than fifty years. Her writings
confront sexualized violence, anti-Asian racism, the
intergenerational trauma of incarceration, the dangers of
passivity, and internalized oppression, while also illuminating the
power of awakening from silence and fighting for justice.
Connecting Japanese American discrimination with broader struggles
from the local to the global, Awake in the River and Shedding
Silence showcases how the renowned poet found power in speaking
out.
