01 Mar / Breaking Silence: An Anthology of Contemporary Asian American Poets edited by Joseph Bruchac [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]
Most likely the first major anthology of all-Asian American-written poetry, Breaking Silence presents the work of some 50 contributors, including such established writers as Jessica Hagedorn, Garrett Hongo, Joy Kogawa, David Mura, Cathy Song, and Nellie Wong.
Each section is prefaced by a short biographical sketch of the writer, which adds a deeper personal dimension to his or her poetry.
