Overview
A mixture of poems and prose, this collection is never quite one or the other, and never equally both, paralleling the crux of the common Asian American identity crisis. With stories of gruesome heartbreaks that followed her from girlhood to adulthood, this collection from Nicole Ting explores this truth: we are more than our heartbreaks. While they do matter, they do not define the entirety of who we are: people who have been transformed by love that prevails, and love that doesn't. Here We Named Ourselves is for anyone who's ever felt loneliness and loss rooted in any grief that orbits the pain of not being loved back. Whether that lies within romance or family or racial/ethnic identity-this book is proof that healing is nonlinear, frequently cyclical in nature, but it is entirely reachable.
