Description: In Cut to Bloom, Arhm Choi Wild's poetry attempts to forge answers to bold questions by navigating the hyphen, sometimes chasm, between the Asian and American identity, between queerness and the politics of belonging, between survival and the possibility of choice.
Review Quotes: "Noah Arhm Choi shows us that when English falls away, what lies behind, underneath, within it are unseen languages and unseen histories--complicated, painful, and beautiful." - Patrick Rosal, author of Brooklyn Antediluvian, Boneshepherds
"Cut to Bloom is neither delicate nor tidy. This immense work both elucidates and complicates ethnic, generational, and gender violence, examining women who fight for their humanity against those who seek to silence--indeed, erase--them." - Jeanann Verlee, author of Prey, Said the Manic to the Muse "With keen eye, Wild carefully unpacks personal and political histories that the world would rather bury--'a story with no mouth, ' as they beautifully put it." - Phil Kaye, author of Date & Time
