Focused mainly on food and cooking, these poems explore the city's transformation from the mid-twentieth century to today, as seen and shaped by Chinese Americans. The poems are set in restaurants, home kitchens, grocery stores, and the houses of friends and neighbors. Often employing forms-sonnet, villanelle, sestina, palindrome, ghazal, rhymed stanzas-they also mirror the constant negotiation with tradition that marks both immigrant and Southern experience.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdrienne Su \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eLiving Quarters\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHaving None of It\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSanctuary\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMiddle Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e.
