Like Rain Returning Home

Be propelled through a collection that questions and celebrates the love affair between a Japanese woman and her American husband as told in lyrical and narrative poems that create an intergenerational dialogue between grandmother and granddaughter. Loosely based on the author¿s own life and family, this collection explores assimilation, acceptance, loneliness, and dislocation. Imbedding emotion in powerful imagery, resting in ¿green tea quiet¿ and ¿sake-sweet¿ moments, the contrast of cultures and examination of home form a landscape both familiar and unfamiliar, spanning generations. In her distinctly evocative, clear voice, Collison offers us a glimpse into loss, longing, and connection.
