Description

Return explores the elusive language of sorrow and solitude that binds Taiwanese diasporic experience. Drawing on the classical tradition of the Chinese "reversible" poem, this collection of poems reflects on the power of memory, myth, and grief in shaping our understanding of identity.

The poems navigate the complexities of feeling, melancholy, and the limitations of language in capturing the human experience. Through a series of meditations on history, etymology, and personal narrative, Return invites readers to consider the ways in which stories are told and retold, and how these narratives shape our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
