I am safe as I am - Paperback

by Sadey Dong (Author)

""This book is made up of a series of poems written when the poet is nineteen to twenty years old. It can be seen as a grand experiment to develop her voice as a poet, or a monument to mark having come this far. The poems included in this book explore common themes such as coming of age, family, the pandemic in the Chinese context, identity, etc. The voice of the speaker varies from time to time: beautiful but heartbreaking when writing about her mother; rational yet indignant when responding to events led by the pandemic; cold but critical when reflecting upon more general phenomenons.""
