Lucky Fish by Aimee Nezhukumatathil (Tupelo Press, paperback)
Publication Date: January 15, 2011
Publisher Marketing: Poetry. Asian American Studies. Winner of the 2011 Eric Hoffer Grand Prize for Excellence in Independent Publishing. LUCKY FISH travels along a lush current—a confluence of leaping vocabulary and startling formal variety, with upwelling gratitude at its source: for love, motherhood, "new hope," and the fluid and rich possibilities of words themselves. With an exuberant appetite for "my morning song, my scurry-step, my dew," anchored in complicated human situations, this astounding young poet's third collection of poems is her strongest yet.
