There is a Chinese proverb that says, "It's more profitable to raise geese than daughters." But geese, like daughters, know the obligation to return home. In her remarkable first collection, Sarah Howe explores a dual heritage, traveling back to Hong Kong in search of her roots. With exceptional variety and strength, the poems build a reflection on hybridity, interracial marriage, and love—what meaning we find in the world, in art, and in each other. Crossing the boundaries of time, race, and language, this is a captivating exploration of self and place, migration and inheritance, introducing an unmistakable new voice in British poetry.
