My Last Century

By Joanna Sit

Poetry. Asian American Studies. "Joanna Sit recognizes the poem as a journey, as a lived experience, as meditation. MY LAST CENTURY is a journey through the wreckage of the world we truly live in, where 'an alien space ship wrecked beyond return' might be serenaded by the 50 greatest Taiwanese love songs; a journey which yields, ultimately, an unexpected and hard-earned tenderness, with a voice that says, 'I will lie down with heroes / with bums, with outcasts / and I will say, how lovely / this city of mine.'" Brian Turner"
