Sage is a book of poems that was published in 2023 but written during the height of the pandemic.
I’ll be honest; I typically struggle with texts written about the years 2020-2022. Reading about that time often triggers feelings of stress and anxiety, and I don’t yet have enough distance or perspective to thoughtfully reflect on that period of our history.
With that said, Sage is excellent. Chin weaves her clever and biting sense of humor throughout her poems, and her wordplay allows the reader to be awed by the power of her themes and messages without getting bogged down by the tremendous weight of it all.
