• Ed's work deals with war, generational trauma, and colonialism, but he approaches those subjects with a cool-eyed observational stance. The reader isn't let off the hook, but invited to accompany the narrator as he processes what he sees and how it relates to past experience. • These poems have an often theatrical quality (Ed is also a playwright), muddling the space between narrator and spectator, and creating an enlivening intimacy with the speaker. • CHP's Asian American list is one that we're exceptionally proud of—it's deep, and old, and represents a breadth of voices who speak to the spectrum of experience, identity, and interest, and Ed will not only benefit from that context, he's an important part of why we have a reputation for that work in the first place.
