Year of the Snake (Crab Orchard Series in Poetry)

Lee Ann Roripaugh's "Year of the Snake" is a stunning collection of poems that delve into themes of identity, transformation, and connection.

Through her masterful use of language and imagery, Roripaugh explores the complexities of mixed-race female identities, blurring the boundaries between myth and memory, and revealing the diasporic arc cast by first-generation Asian American mothers and their second-generation daughters.

The poems are characterized by their "jeweled precision" (Maura Stanton), with lines that shimmer and sparkle like prehistoric eye and tender palpitating bellies.

Roripaugh's heart is evident in every line, emphasizing the inevitable human connections that make this collection a must-read for anyone interested in poetry or the exploration of identity.
