Author Description

"Equivalence is the first major collection from poet Shin Yu Pai. Drawing its name from photographer Alfred Stieglitz's series of cloud images, the poems in this collection explore connections and correspondences between poetry and the visual arts, Eastern and Western cultures, tradition and modernity, perpetual migration and the sense of home. In the course of this exploration, the poet is inspired by modern and contemporary artists such as Wolfgang Laib, Piet Mondrian, Joseph Cornell, Yoko Ono, and Felix Gonzales-Torres."--Jacket.
