What is Naming The No-name Woman about?

Naming The No-Name Woman by Jasmine An is the winner of the Two Sylvias Press Chapbook Prize and was chosen by contest judge, Keetje Kuipers. Praise for Naming The No-Name Woman Fiercely sexual and frank, the speaker in Naming The No-Name Woman mythologizes her experiences as a Chinese-American woman, never flinching from the various overlapping identities she encounters. I am reminded of the fearlessness of Kimiko Hahn's work, and am stirred anew by Jasmine An's resistance to any kind of shame that identity-chosen and unchosen-is eager to place on us.
