/ PETERS FRASER + DUNLOP YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2015*
*SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST FIRST COLLECTION 2015*
There is a Chinese proverb that says: 'It is more profitable to
raise geese than daughters.' But geese, like daughters, know the
obligation to return home. In her exquisite first collection, Sarah
Howe explores a dual heritage, journeying back to Hong Kong in
search of her roots. With extraordinary range and power, the poems
build into a meditation on hybridity, intermarriage and love - what
meaning we find in the world, in art, and in each other. Crossing
the bounds of time, race and language, this is an enthralling
exploration of self and place, of migration and inheritance, and
introduces an unmistakable new voice in British poetry.
