In Giovanna Lomanto’s third collection, all hands are on the steering wheel. Her poems are a new reflection on the loneliness of a politicized girlhood, the interconnected nature of everything you could possibly hold dear, and the onset of nihilism through the Gen Z lens. These poems are about being Chinese-Indonesian, living in the Bay Area, and learning how to listen to your own voice.
If you like contemporary poetry centered in the every day struggles of a twenty something year old looking for their place in the world, this is the one for you!
