Light Into Bodies

Nancy Chen Long

4.9/5 (12199 ratings)

Description:Taken as a whole, Light into Bodies grapples with the fluid nature of identity as it changes through time and influence. In the first section of the book, the author inhabits the landscape of childhood, that of a biracial, multi-ethnic child as she tries to understand the world and her place in it based on what she sees and what she has been taught. The second section moves from childhood and family-of-origin into the world of the adult: relationships, marriage, divorce, and expectations of identity based on relationship roles. The third and final section opens up to identity in a larger world, considering societal expectations and assumptions about identity shaped by evolving concepts of home, memory, time, origins, and creation. The poems, a mix of forms, styles, and voices that encompass seemingly disparate things such as science and religion, myth and math, East and West, work against the declaration of a monolithic identity. The book ends with a nod to the idea that we are multi-dimensional, blessed with multiple identities, each of us called to a personal journey to identify our own selves.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
