Yes!

Explores the vulnerable ways we articulate and reckon with fear: fear of intergenerational trauma and the silent, hidden histories of families. What does it mean to grow up in a take-out restaurant, surrounded by food, just a generation after the Great Leap Forward famine in 1958-62? Full of elegy and resilient joy, these poems speak across generations of survival.

"The domestic world of this book is palpable, laden with literal and metaphorical food items and the objects of coastal New Jersey… There’s a makeshift quality to the book’s domestic life that’s tender and defiant too, as in the deservedly celebrated poem “I Put on My Fur Coat…”"

– Jessica E. Johnson is a poet and nonfiction writer.
