We look through the windows and recognize some former aspect of our lives that is both ours and not ours. We long for what we had even as we recognize that we can no longer live there. Yanyi conjures the beloved both within and without us: the beloved we believe we know, the beloved who is never the person we imagine, and the beloved who threatens to erase us even as we stand before them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow can we carry our homes with us? Informed by Yanyi's experiences of immigration, violent heartbreak, and a bodily transition, \u003ci\u003eDream of the Divided Field \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the contradictions that accompany shifts from one state of being to another. In tender, serene, and ethereal poems, \u003ci\u003eDream of the Divided Field \u003c\/i\u003eexamines a body breaking down and a body that rebuilds in limitless and boundary-shifting ways. These are homes in memory--homes of love and isolation, lust and alienation, tenderness and violence, suffering and wonder.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYanyi \u003c\/b\u003eis a writer and critic.
