Quilted

<p>Georgia-mae Tan's <em>Quilted</em> is a graceful patchwork of ruminations. These twenty poems examine the cross-roads of cultural identity ambiguity of memory and the bittersweet nuances of love and loss as personal desires contend with obligation in a distinctive and defiant celebration of girlhood.</p><p>Negotiating the future at the intersection of past and present these poems are born in bold worlds that chart ever-changing textures shapes and sounds as they shift across natural and domestic landscapes.</p><p>Immersed in the intimacies of playful first conversations the warmth and comfort of a home-cooked meal or vignettes of a sleepy town Quilted explores the abundant possibilities of light and growth in the spaces we inhabit.</p>
