Loop of Jade by Sarah Howe writing ‘Facts are only as interestingThere is a Chinese proverb that says: It is more profitable to raise geese than daughters. But geese, like daughters, know the obligation to return home. In her exquisite first collection, Sarah Howe explores a dual heritage, journeying back to Hong Kong in search of her roots. With extraordinary range and power, the poems build into a meditation on hybridity, intermarriage and love what meaning we find in the world, in art, and in each other.
