An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge
Hard Love Province
I've known about Marilyn Chin (I even met her once) for about eight years now, but I'd never read more than one poem of hers until I finished Hard Love Province. I'm out of practice at reading poetry, and I don't know how much of these poems I understood. There were many references that I got, and there were probably more that I didn't. But the rhythm of the words are lovely, even if the language is a bit too metaphorical for my tastes.
