Synopses & Reviews
Review
"A few of these technically brilliant and emotionally devastating soliloquies offer glimpses into the poet's life and, in the staggering 'The Cancer Chronicles,' her death. Let Ai's books preserve her compassion and righteous anger, her artistry and profound sense of the paradoxes of human existence." Donna Seaman
Synopsis
"Smart, funny, angry, political, and utterly poetic . . . both haunting and humorous." --
