What is How Often I Have Chosen Love about?
Color and light and life invigorate Xiao Yue Shan's de- but chapbook--or, in her own words: "a thrill of poppy and chrysanthemum". How Often I Have Chosen Love explores the rediscovery of her nuanced and complex family, her nuanced and complex sense of home, the nuanced and complex history of China. From the flag in Tiananmen Square to the apartments of San Francisco, Shan complicates our sense of home and history by filling every reflection and every moment with the bursting blue light of Hong Kong, the delicate sprawl of blooming vegetation--envisioning a creation myth that seeks to have "no tale of falling." In the voice of a modern woman of two nations, Shan's work finds her deepest authenticity. Her rich palette of color, of flower and nation and jewel, is an achievement only Shan's unique perspective could conceive. Xiao Yue Shan is an emerging poet whose words and heart beat with the exact rhythm of our times.
