"Based on sources as diverse as Heian period female Japanese writers and the world of science fiction, and drawing on her own experience as a second-generation Japanese American, acclaimed poet Lee Ann Roripaugh's fourth collection explores a series of "word betrayals"-English words misunderstood in transmission from her Japanese mother that came to take on symbolic ramifications in her early years.
