More American / Sharon Hashimoto
More American / Sharon Hashimoto
ISBN: 9781946830104
In moving detail, the poems in More American convey the realities of assimilation, service, and internment as experienced by Japanese Americans during, and in the decades following, the Second World War. In this stunning collection, Hashimoto reckons with the limitations of language, and by extension, notions of citizenship. She deftly sounds the dissonances in the language of loyalty and allegiance.
