Inhaltsangabe

With seriocomic tone, these elliptical lyrics reveal illusions and exclusions at the heart of America&;s global narrative of economic &;progress,&; and the attendant loss of cultural identity and memory. At the same time, Matadora challenges traditional Fillipina gender norms, beginning with the title which feminizes a word and profession traditionally masculine.

New York (Sweet and Sour Sauce)

I (Asian girl) was eating pasta with a dancer (Asian girl) last night in front of the Asian-American tirade. She quoted a book of 144,000 blank pages and she said, sometimes do you feel crazy? I was biting off my chicken. I said let&;s go through an exercise.

Someone is sleeping very peacefully in a bed next to you. Who is this person?

A sculptor (from LA he said just visiting) listened to us. He said I&;m working on a 50 ft. bamboo thing. He said you should come by.

&;Early in Sarah Gambito&;s book, we learn that &;You cannot be in two places at once.&; In fact, the personality presented in these poems (they are personal poems; that is to say, they have their own unique and consistent personality) seems to have come from Elsewhere, on the way to Everywhere.&;&;Keith Waldrop
