Description

Jenny Liou's debut poetry collection explores the intersection of violence and identity, drawing parallels between the physicality of cage fighting and the deeper traumas of immigration. Through spare yet stunning lyricism, Liou grapples with the legacy of her Chinese immigrant father and the complexities of her own search for self. In Muscle Memory, Liou weaves together themes of pain, healing, and the passing of violence from one generation to the next. With unflinching honesty, she examines how the physical manifestations of violence in her sport are mirrored by the deeper wounds of her family's history. A powerful and deeply personal collection, Muscle Memory is a testament to Liou's unique voice and perspective as both poet and athlete.
