COMING FROM DEEPLY ROOTED ORAL AND LITERARY TRADITIONS IN AMERICA, ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC RIM COMMUNITIES, THE FIRST COLLECTION OF POET CATHY SONG ATTRACTED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. HER WORK REFLECTS THE EXPERIENCE OF WOMEN IN TRADITIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY CULTURES; IT EXAMINES AN EAST-WEST HERITAGE. HER POETRY CONFIGURES THE STATE OF AMERICAN LITERATURE TODAY, A STATE INVIGORATED BY CULTURAL INFUSION. SONG IS A HIGHLY VISUAL POET; HER USE OF METAPHOR AND MUSIC REVEALS HER AS A CONSUMMATE CRAFTSWOMAN.
