On This Page
Description
Middle Kingdom, Adrienne Su's first collection of poems, explores American identity in terms of language, geography, and personal history. Starting in Georgia, the poems travel to New York, New England, China, Mexico, and other locales in the search for a sense of place.Tags

As with any collection, I like Su's work because I connect with her subjects and her use of language. What stands out beyond that is her deep mastery of form; the structures and rhymes are so inherent that I was only aware of them afterwards, sometimes on a second reading. That's remarkable.
