| book description |

A collection of poetry showcasing the diversity of subjects and forms in Yauâ€™s writing. Â This collection brings together work from half a century of writing by John Yau. Preoccupied with forms and musical structures, Yauâ€™s work includes sestinas, sonnets, pantoums, and lists, as well as invented forms. Employing both strict and open-ended frameworks, Yau creates multi-faceted poems that can shift abruptly from humor to outrage and consider topics including Chinese American identity, school shootings, invented countries, and haunted memories. Some poems are grounded in an autobiographical voice, while others take on the voices of other characters, including contemporary artists and a fictional Chinese private eye. Â Spanning the vast diversity of Yauâ€™s forms and subjects, the poems in Diary of Small Discontents add up to an unapologetically original collection. Â
