Poetry. Asian American Studies. Native American Studies. California Interest. Longlisted for the 2020 PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry Collection. The book loosely navigates the archived immigration trial of Hong On, a biracial Alaska Native-Chinese man, in 1912 on Angel Island, CA, during the Chinese Exclusion Act. Hong On was born in San Francisco, CA, in 1895 and was orphaned shortly after.
