I was incredibly moved by these poems.\" --Roxane Gay, via Goodreads \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom National Poetry Series winner Su Cho, chosen by Paige Lewis, a debut poetry collection about immigration, memory, and a family's lexicon \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLanguage and lore are at the core of \u003ci\u003eThe Symmetry of Fish\u003c\/i\u003e, a moving debut about coming-of-age in the middle of nowhere. With striking and tender insight, it seeks to give voice to those who have been denied their stories, and examines the way phrases and narratives are passed down through immigrant families--not diluted over time, but distilled into potency over generations. In this way, a family's language is not lost but continuously remade, hitched to new associations, and capable of blooming anew, with the power to cut across space and time to unearth buried memories. The poems in \u003ci\u003eThe Symmetry of Fish\u003c\/i\u003e insist that language is first and foremost a bodily act; even if our minds can't recall a word or a definition, if we trust our mouths, expression will find us--though never quite in the forms we expect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Su Cho\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Poets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.09w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143137252","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42439197327497,"sku":"9780143137252","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_01d36dc4-23f3-405a-a105-301b22c930f1.jpg?v=1716269730","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-symmetry-of-fish-9780143137252","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
