Melody S. Gee's The Convert's Heart is Good to Eat meets at the intersection of cultural and spiritual identity, culminating in a set of harrowing poems that investigates how belief defines us.

This powerful collection from Melody S. Gee signals a new voice in poetry that grapples with faith and identity. These poems ask challenging questions about the role that belief plays in one's perception of themselves.

The Convert's Heart is Good to Eat investigates Gee's own beliefs in intimate and profound ways. What does being Catholic mean in a modern world? What does that belief system look like as an adult convert?

Additionally, Gee conveys important truths in these poems about the tension between her Asian American heritage and her newfound spirituality.
