Electric Dress provides a broad range of explorations of personal, political and cultural materials. The poems cross a number of landscapes--taking the reader from Hong Kong to Spain to the Philippines to Central Illinois. They insist on the ways in which we are tied to history and to our landscapes, often drawing upon archival materials and visual art objects in order to provide meditations on what we inherit and what we wish to disavow. If instructors are looking to adopt a collection of poems for their beginning or advanced poetry workshops, I hope that they will consider Electric Dress for its variety and complexity.
