Summary:
"The poems in 'The
language
we
were
never
taught
to
speak
' explore the many identities, both visible and invisible, that a body contains. With influences from pop culture, the Bible, tech, and Hong-Kongese history, these peices reflect and reveal how the stories of immigrants in Canada hold both universal thruths and singular distinctions. From boybands that show the way to become 'the kind of girl a girl could love' to 'rich flavours that are just a few generations of poverty away,' they invite the readers to meditate on spirituality, food and the shapes love takes." --Back cover.
