Broken Entries: Race, Subjectivity, & Writing

by Roy Miki

In these moving, lyrical and articulate essays, Roy Miki explores the issues and realities that comprise, for him, a writing redress, history, memory, "race", language, displacement? and their interrelationships? as well as the voices of those known and loved whose wisdom rings even after death, Roy Kiyooka and bpNichol. These essays form a net of thought, a way of seeing, that is full of acumen, theory, affection, faith, and skepicism? here is a brilliant series of daring meditations on the inflections of identity in our social and cultural time.
