Poetry. Asian American Studies. Henry W. Leung's PARADISE HUNGER is a masterfully crafted set of poems that explore, in lyric narratives, the experiences of immigration and exile, grief and loss, transformation and renewal. Revolution, history and memory combine to map the intimate geography of sorrow—and resilience.

"Abounding with melodious examples of the lyric narrative poem, Henry W. Leung's chapbook traverses the experiences of immigration, seasons of loss and grief, and permutations of hunger. From classical mythology to Hawaiian legends, the languages and voices of 'talkstory' in PARADISE HUNGER serve as a locus or guide across displacements of revolution, history, and memory. This is a rich collection to savor, line by line, as Leung muses on questions of home in stanzas eloquently laden with image and allusion: 'You gave us peaches, our golden apples of Hera, our home myth. Peaches blooming only once each three thousand years.'"—Karen An-hwei Lee
