How Do I Begin? A Hmong American Literary Anthology (Hmong American Writers' Circle)
'Seventeen Hmong come-of-age writers meet you head-on with their hearts on fire, their eyes electric, their voices thundering: bullet-riddled histories, miraculous border-breakouts, adopted fractured citizenships, landscapes in spirit flight, language in between languages, and impossible healings of community, and perhaps one of the finest collections of creative writing in decades. A monumental tour de force.' ---- Juan Felipe Herrera, Tomas Rivera Endowed Chair, UC Riverside'The confident clear Americano speech tells frankly of the anxieties and questions around being Hmong, new Americans, and artists, with diverse and ever-shifting resolutions. We are witnessing creation.' ---- Gary Snyder, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, author ofMountains and Rivers without End
