Hsin

A book by NanciLee.

NanciLee

Heart-mindandnothingnessare fair English translations ofHsin, but their tidiness risks losing some of the sharper, wider sides of absence and appetite. As a historical process, according to Hang Thaddeus T?ui-Chieh,Hsinfrustrates, ?the psychological fragmentation and compartmentalization of the West?

Born to a Syrian father and a Chinese mother, who gave her up for adoption, Lee explores her origins in a compendium of poem fragments where form embraces the process of its unfolding. These are Koan-like poems, resonant with tones at turns ageless and contemporary;Hsinholds silence in ways that both claim and keep at bay. (From Brick Books)
