In such lines as \"let me tell you how I make myself appear \/ more likeable,\" \"as I grow older I like looking at chaos,\" and \"I want to propose a hike \/ and also propose mostly,\" Wong's style is confident and idiomatic, and by turns contemplative and carefree. Whether writing about family, intimate relationships, language, or women's experience, Wong creates a world alive with observation and provocation, capturing the essence and the problems of life with others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stella Wong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton Contemporary Poets #180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691264042","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43014810402953,"sku":"9780691264042","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_b88fb689-ad34-4625-bbb4-720461452b96.jpg?v=1727761724","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/stem-poems-9780691264042","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
