Cycling with the Dragon

4.1/5 ( ratings)

Cycling with the Dragon is a personal investigation of family,love, culture, self, and the helpless feeling of "smallness." Elaine Woo's poems take the form of the words that they speak: she forms an "o" for the buoy that is a child's safety-raft , and weaves a poem about fearing snakes and dreams into a descending slither.

Woo's poems weave meaning with form, writing in a pastiche of diverse poetic voices who are small by virtue of age or status . And like tenacious seeds they break through to reach the sun, to face an abusive parent, bullies, the pain of shyness, envy, or racism.
