    “Book Descriptions: With both levity and grief, Lisa Low’s Crown for the Girl Inside explores Asian American stereotypes and the too bright-white spaces the speaker finds herself in, whether at parties, on the page, or in her own home. Contemplating “the hole in the conversation where white was not said,” the poems look for new ways to respond to racism while also lamenting the racial challenges of writing about trauma. Public and private, seeing and being seen are reimagined as the poems draw on pop culture along with personal experiences on social media and the speaker’s relationship with her white husband. Prose poems, an erasure, and a sonnet sequence build to a crowning—a kind of rebirth but with cake and candles. Crown for the Girl Inside is about vulnerability, the possibilities and limitations of writing, and what happens when we talk about whiteness as often as we think of it.”
