Virga

by Shin Yu Pai

Shin Yu Pai’s elegant eleventh collection of poems is a crisp and intelligent response to recent and ancient history. In poems at once visionary and practical, Virga portrays Buddhist thought from lived experience, and demonstrates the everyday life of a poet who can see for herself in the ‘shafts of rain going sublime’ the reality of being an Asian American woman in America today.
