    Chang’s poems narrate grief and loss, and intertwines them with hope for a fresh start in the midst of new beginnings. With topics such as frustration with our social and natural world, these poems openly question the self and place and how private experiences like motherhood and sorrow necessitate a deeper engagement with public life and history.

    From "The Winter's Wife":

    I want wild roots to prosper
    an invention of blooms, each unknown
    to every wise gardener. If I could be
    a color. If I could be a question
    of tender regard. I know crabgrass
    and thistle. I know one algorithm:
    it has nothing to do with repetition
    or rhythm. It is the route from number
    to number (less to more, more
    to less), a map drawn by proof
    not faith. Unlike twilight, I do not
    conclude with darkness. I conclude.
