Publisher Description: Janine Joseph writes with an open and easy intimacy. The language here is at once disruptive and familiar, political and sensual, and tinged by the melancholy of loss and the discomforting radiance of redemption. A strong debut. --Chris Abani The best way to hide is in plain sight. In this politically-charged and candid debut, we follow the chronicles of an undocumented immigrant speaker over a twenty-year span as she grows up in the foreign and forbidding landscape of America. From Ivan, Always Hiding: I strained for the socket in the windowless dark. The room, could have been no we couldn't tell anymore, the glints were dulled. This is like death, you said, and didn't disagree. Raised in the Philippines and California, Janine Joseph holds an MFA from New York University and a PhD from the University of Houston. Her poems have appeared in the Kenyon Review Online, Best New Poets, Hayden's Ferry Review, and elsewhere. Her libretto From My Mother's Mother was performed as part of the Houston Grand Opera's Song of Houston: East + West series. A Kundiman and Paul and Daisy Soros Fellow, she is an assistant professor of English at Weber State University. |
