- I like doing that when writing poetry too, but the fact that Osaki portrays women in a negative and inferior light, brought my mood down. Nonetheless, it's a book of poetry, I love poetry, and so I will read it because the reviewer mentioned many more nice things about it. Excellent review. Thank you.Osaki has a beautiful way with language. He is able to utilise even the most mundane and everyday object to depict a depth of emotion that arises from the discourse on heavy topics. A great example of this would be “Chinese Camp, California”, where he creates a triple play on the word “pen” – taking it to mean the pen used to pen the poem, the penning itself, as well as likening the isolation Asian-Americans experience to being trapped in a metaphorical pen.

As an Asian myself of immigrant parents, I can certainly relate to some of the topics covered by his work. I'm looking forward to reading this collection. Thank you!
