Miracle Fruit by Aimee Nezhukumatathil (Tupelo Press, paperback)
Publication Date: April 1, 2003
Publisher Marketing: Poetry. Asian American Studies. As three worlds collide, a mother's Philippines, a father's India and the poet's contemporary America, the resulting impressions are chronicled in this collection of incisive and penetrating verse. The writer weaves her words carefully into a wise and affecting embroidery that celebrates the senses while remaining down-to-earth and genuine. "We see that everything is in fact miracle fruit, including this book itself"—Andrew Hudgins.
