These poems make those silences heard. Writing back to an \"orientalist\" tradition that has defined modern American poetry, these 100 Chinese silences unmask the imagined Asias of American literature, revealing the spectral Asian presence that haunts our most eloquent lyrics and self-satisfied wisdom. Rewriting poets from Ezra Pound and Marianne Moore to Gary Snyder and Billy Collins, this book is a sharply critical and wickedly humorous travesty of the modern canon, excavating the Asian (American) bones buried in our poetic language. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothy Yu\u003c\/b\u003e is the author\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eof the poetry collection \u003ci\u003e100 Chinese Silences \u003c\/i\u003eand three chapbooks: \u003ci\u003e15 Chinese Silences, Journey to the West, \u003c\/i\u003eand, with Kristy Odelius, \u003ci\u003eKiss the Stranger. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is also the author of \u003ci\u003eDiasporic Poetics: Asian Writing in the United States, Canada, and Australia \u003c\/i\u003e(Oxford) and \u003ci\u003eRace and the Avant-Garde: Experimental and Asian American Poetry since 1965 \u003c\/i\u003e(Stanford).
