The process reveals surprises like her mummi had a thick Finnish accent and blamed her terminal cancer on all the things I never said, moving inside me. Set against the backdrop of the Watergate hearings, Her Voice: Hnen ens: A Hybrid Memoir weaves together diary entries, home movies, ichthyology, Nordic and Pacific Northwest mythologies, and YouTube language lessons to examine the legacies of trauma, class, politics, and silence on womens creative lives.\n\nHer Voice leaps playfully and poignantly across time, memory, and history, as well as between American pop-culture and multi-ethnic/racial experiences that reveal America as always hybrid.
