- More about Some Girls Walk into the Country They Are From
In her first poetry collection in seven years, Sawako Nakayasu uses the unsettling diaspora of "girls" as a poetic form, reclaiming the diminutive pseudo-slur and exploring the border zones of language, culture, and identity. The book radicalizes notions of "translation" as both process and product, engaging in linguistic interference that is intimate, feminist, and playfully jagged.

In her first poetry collection in seven years, Sawako Nakayasu employs an unsettling diaspora of "girls" as a poetic form, reclaiming the diminutive pseudo-slur and creating characters that reside in the blurred border zones of language, culture, and shifting identity. Written in response to Nakayasu's return to the United States in 2017, this maximalist collection invites readers to reevaluate their own participation in perpetuating literary conventions. The book challenges conventional notions of "translation" by treating it as both a process and a product, engaging in a linguistic interference that is intimate, feminist, and delightfully jagged.
