Loop of Jade by Sarah Howe writing the nest comes to be

the nest comes to be seen as a human life lived

giving room to states of flux and flow in the body

in 2022 - the current volume and Occasional and Joke Poems

translated by Sasha Dugdale

Loop of Jade by Sarah Howe writing the nest comes to beThere is a Chinese proverb that says: It is more profitable to raise geese than daughters. But geese, like daughters, know the obligation to return home. In her exquisite first collection, Sarah Howe explores a dual heritage, journeying back to Hong Kong in search of her roots. With extraordinary range and power, the poems build into a meditation on hybridity, intermarriage and love what meaning we find in the world, in art, and in each other.
