The Last to the Party

Bag om The Last to the Party

In this highly anticipated and deeply moving debut, Chuqiao Yang explores family, culture, diaspora, and the self's tectonic shifts over time. Yang's poems journey restlessly through recollections of a Saskatchewan childhood, trips to visit family in Taiyuan, and a sojourn across the American South in search of the moments and places where one became a stranger to oneself. "You are a mouse in the backcountry of your memories," writes Yang, "You are a fox in winter, devouring well-meaning friends." Irreverent, fierce, and ceaselessly surprising, The Last to the Party marks the arrival of a unique voice and an unsparing poetic vision.
