SUMMARY:East Bay Launch for "Invisible Gifts\, Poems" with Maw Shein Win and Guests
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Maw Shein Win’s first full-length poetry collection Invisible Gifts\, Poems. \nWith readings by: \nMK Chavez\nSharon Coleman\nCassandra Dallett\nTim Donnelly\nTongo Eisen-Martin\nMaw Shein Win \n+++ \nInvisible Gifts\, Poems by Maw Shein Win \nManic D Press April 2018 \nThemes of vulnerability and power emerge through reflections on family\, art\, and loss from an award-winning poet. \nIn her full-length collection of poems\, Win depicts a colorful world imbued with unexpected paradoxes: nature is both comforting and savagely unnerving; love is permanent and fleeting; and the accuracy and flaws of memory abound. Her experiences with illness and recovery intertwine with her identity as a Burmese American daughter of immigrant doctors. For instance\, in poems like “Hands”: My father’s hands\, frail birds\, shaking wings. / In Burmese\, “win” means bright. / Hands that stitched skin together and brought back life. Win’s unique perspective and artful language offer readers insight into how the heart can bend and mend without breaking.
