What the Critics Said
In Mine, Tung-Hui Hu makes myths out of the personal. He speaks of desire and awkwardness and of the earth that contains both. Resonant, blunt, this is writing that excavates.
The collection was published in spring 2007 by Ausable Press, now part of Copper Canyon Press, and received the 2007 James D. Phelan Literary Award.
- Poems of desire, awkwardness, and the earth that holds both.
- Writing that "excavates" as history unfolds over and over the same soil.
- The poems become, in Hu's words, "practice for the living."
