One (probably final) round with this tale as my spring shelf cleaning continues. It's probably been 30+ years since I've read it, so maybe something new will rise up from its waters.

Premiere collection of poetry by a local Michigander poet, twisting his poetry at the intersections of Arab-American identity and disability, promises a stark and revealing intimacy!

I'm sure the reason that I've held off on this novel has nothing whatsoever to do with its unreliable narrator whose aging memory contorts his sense of self!

Well, apparently he has written a number of poetry books around love and colors. I'm, frankly, a little apprehensive it's all sentiment and doggerel, but so often recommended! We'll see!

Not sure what I'm getting into here, but this is a massive collection of matriarchal worlds and politics and Asian themes and steampunk and horror? In any event, the artwork is beautiful, so I'm counting on Liu's writing to match!

This hooks masterpiece should be required reading. Not simply, there is nothing objective or neutral about any act of educating. Our active awareness here can only make us better at our craft.

Short one I missed earlier, clearly his wrestling both with prejudice, feminism, and LGBTQIA+ issues. None too subtle, perhaps, clumsy too, but still a pleasure for his characters and pacing work.

Some internal politics as an indigenous artist dares to create with nuance and irony. Can the modern political native tolerate it? Vizenor is candid, funny, and subtle all at once!
