These essays thread themselves around questions of language, landscape, and identity, weaving together intersectionalities and intertextualities. Author Lee Horikoshi Roripaugh, a biracial LGBTQIA+ Nisei who was born and raised in Laramie, Wyoming, to a non-native-English-speaking Issei mother, considers not only the tensions in the rifts between intersectional identities (biracial Nisei, LGBTQIA+) but also the tensions between marginalized identities and the landscapes and cultures of the American West; the tensions between nonnative, second, erased, and\/or forgotten languages; and the tensions between those who abuse and those who survive. These rifts, intersections, and fractures, while frequently a source of violence and immense grief, are also a source of illumination and clarity. The essays in this collection are written almost entirely in hybrid\/lyric forms--oftentimes braided, oftentimes patchworked, oftentimes segmented--reflecting some of the fractured complexities and intersections of Horikoshi Roripaugh's own hybrid identities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51296584761567,"sku":"9780820374413","price":30.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/pczeKjtQGW9780820374413.webp?v=1788108724","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/unmothered-untongued-lyric-essays-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
