desertcart.com: Mad Honey Symposium: 9781938584060: Wen Mao, Sally: Books Review: maximalist and beautiful - Sally Wen Mao shows off her gift for maximally lush, even nearly pyrotechnic diction--a gift for alliteration runs through this diction: "fetal and feral," "fate were fairer," "inventory of fears; bones/breaking," etc. Mao also as a gift for incorporating both Greek and Roman but also Chinese myths into her work often pairing those myths, not only with each other but with the observation of the natural world. Exhaustive inventories and travelogues are energized by interlocking myths and diction. Deeply felt, deeply intercultural, and maximalist in aesthetic orientation, this is a brilliant collection.
