Description:
Terazawa's third poetry collection Oracular Maladies contemplates fraught intersections between a mother's language of Vietnamese and craft considerations of Japanese-English meter in a series of six
spoken "scores" mirroring the tonal arc of a musical variety show familiar to the
Vietnamese diaspora, "Paris by Night."
