Sommario/riassunto: This title provides a detailed study of the formal properties in Asian American poetry across a range of aesthetic styles, from traditional lyric to avant-garde. With passion and conviction, Wang argues that critics should read minority poetry with the same attention to language and form that they bring to their analyses of writing by white poets.
