In Sawako Nakayasu’s first poetry collection in seven years, an
unsettling diaspora of “girls” is deployed as poetic form, as
reclamation of diminutive pseudo-slur, and as characters that take
up residence between the thick border zones of language, culture,
and shifting identity. Written in response to Nakayasu’s 2017
return to the US, this maximalist collection invites us to
reexamine our own complicity in reinforcing literary convention.
The book radicalizes notions of “translation” as both process
and product, running a kind of linguistic interference that is
intimate, feminist, and playfully jagged.
