Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. Women's Studies. "As I discovered in putting this collection together, the central impulse in my poetry is duality--what it means to be both body and spirit, alone and together, certain and unsure, permanent and still so temporary. I have spent much time trying to reconcile these opposing states within myself, ultimately, and very personally, so that I can live with some degree of honour. I hope THAT SIGHT exposes the humanness of this endeavour, grappling with the limits of either / or to arrive, momentarily, at the broader expanses of also / and."--Marjon Mossammaparast
