<b>Poems that reckon with identity, race, and fractured relationships through the lens of food.</b><p></p><p>Bittersweet, numbingly spicy, herbal and milky, <i>Familial Hungers</i>is a lyric feast. Ginger scallion fish, Sichuan peppercorns, ginseng tea, Chinese school and white chefs - the reader's appetite is satiated with these poems' complex palate. There are the bubbling expectations for immigrant daughters, the chewy strands of colonial critique, and dissolving crystals of language loss. Wu relentlessly searches the grocery shelves for the hard-to-digest ingredients of identity and belonging, offering us her nourishing honesty and courage pulled from the marrow.</p>
