These poems make those silences heard. Writing back to an "orientalist" tradition that has defined modern American poetry, these 100 Chinese silences unmask the imagined Asias of American literature, revealing the spectral Asian presence that haunts our most eloquent lyrics and self-satisfied wisdom. Rewriting poets from Ezra Pound and Marianne Moore to Gary Snyder and Billy Collins, this book is a sharply critical and wickedly humorous travesty of the modern canon, excavating the Asian (American) bones buried in our poetic language.American poetryAmerican poetry.811/.6Yu Yelu1859138MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910897119603321100 Chinese Silences4462605UNINA
