Bøger af Alison Lubar

Traveling back and forth in time, from before the Japanese Internment to the present day, "it skips a generation" examines Alison Lubar's relationship with their grandfather who, along with his mother and sister, was imprisoned at Tule Lake Relocation Center.The poems consider intergenerational trauma & healing, and what survives, while also reflecting upon the intersections of multiracial & queer identity in today's world.

The carefully crafted poems in sweet euphemism highlight the centrality of family and transgenerational trauma. Lubar's strong poems recount Auntie E's experience in the Japanese internment camps during World War II and the subsequent pain that embroils a generation. These are painful, insightful, and light poems that demand our attention.
