Having A Coke With Godzilla [Paperback]

These poems by Kazumi Chin learn to create intimacy and connection in the age of social media. They embrace the consumption of pop culture and reflect back how this country is experienced by those who are marginalized and oppressed. They understand history, the work of ancestry, but sit in the here and now, inside the dearth and speed of information and reaches out a hand. And in these poems there may be a certain sadness but more so a certain hope. - Jason Bayani, author of Amulet
