Christine Kitano’s Poetry Collection: Sky Country

Description

BOA Editions (paperback, 2017)

Publisher Marketing: Finalist for the 2018 Paterson Poetry Prize

Christine Kitano’s second poetry collection elicits a sense of hunger–an intense longing for home and an ache for human connection. Channeling both real and imagined immigration experiences of her own family–her grandmothers, who fled Korea and Japan; and her father, a Japanese American who was incarcerated during WWII–Kitano’s ambitious poetry speaks for those who have been historically silenced and displaced.
