Diasporic Poetics: Asian Writing in the United States, Canada, and Australia
Timothy Yu (Martha Meier Renk-Bascom Professor of Poetry and Professor of English and Asian American Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Diasporic Poetics is the first book-length study of Asian American, Asian Canadian, and Asian Australian poets. It argues that these writers form part of an Asian diaspora linked by common experiences of immigration, exclusion, and racism, offering a new and politically grounded alternative to standard narratives of ethnic literature. Spanning the late 1960s to the present, it offers fresh readings of poets such as Janice Mirikitani, Fred Wah, Ouyang Yu, Myung Mi Kim, and Cathy Park Hong, placing them in their US, Canadian, and Australian contexts while also showing the way their work responds to transnational influences.
