In Sawako Nakayasu\u2019s first poetry collection in seven years, an unsettling diaspora of \u201Cgirls\u201D is deployed as poetic form, as reclamation of diminutive pseudo-slur, and as characters that take up residence between the thick border zones of language, culture, and shifting identity. Written in response to Nakayasu\u2019s 2017 return to the US, this maximalist collection invites us to reexamine our own complicity in reinforcing literary convention. The book radicalizes notions of \u201Ctranslation\u201D as both process and product, running a kind of linguistic interference that is intimate, feminist, and playfully jagged.\n\nSome Girls Walk into the Country They Are From\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price advertised is as low as we can go \u2014 we do not accept or respond to offers.
