In her debut short collection, poet Kristin Chang bursts onto the page and into our consciousness like a dazzling, dizzying uproar: \"I suck \/ until my teeth riot \/ with rot \u0026amp; I have nothing \/ left in my mouth to keep \/ quiet.\" Quiet Chang's speakers are not. In these nineteen poems, the body is personal and communal, hunter and hunted: \"My mother says \/ women who sleep with women \/ are redundant: the body symmetrical \/ to its crime. Between your knees \/ I mistake need for belief \/ in a father figure: once, we renamed \/ our fathers by burning them \/ out of our bodies, smoking the sky \/ into meat.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKristin Chang's work has been published in \u003ci\u003eTeen Vogue, The Rumpus, The Margins\u003c\/i\u003e (Asian American Writers Workshop), the \u003ci\u003eShade Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, and elsewhere.
