In poignant, witty poems, Lisa Low navigates the tensions of solidarity and hostility in white spaces as she sets out to write differently about race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The problem of being with a white man is also a problem of writing,\" Low says in a prose poem that turns writing about identity on its head. She peers in from outside the poem, as if through an open ceiling. The poem itself becomes a site of investigation--a counterpoint to constricting narratives about Asian American identity--reimagined as a dollhouse, a stage with props, an image the speaker wears like a bodysuit. \u003ci\u003eReplica \u003c\/i\u003easks what it means to represent yourself and your experiences in a world where you are indistinguishable from others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lisa Low","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44194751447082,"sku":"9780299356545","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/replica-paperback-prose-poetry-by-lisa-low-4459696.jpg?v=1774456094","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/replica-by-lisa-low","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
