“How do we write to someone? City Poems engages a tradition of queer feminist modes of address between friends. For the poet writing inside the insitutional whiteness, architectures, and borders of New Haven, New York City (and the “dearest counterpart” within it) becomes a complicated and jewellike source of escape, pain, and thrill––almost a lover. These gorgeous and sharp-edged poems reckon with absence and orientation amidst a landscape of erotic, aesthetic, and political tethers.” – Emily Skillings
Review by Alison Brackenbury in Under the radar 26
“To say that you cannot do something, then to do it, is one of the deepest and most difficult devices in poetry: artfully, and eloquently to “grab what you can” from language and life. Mia Kang achieves this, in a debut pamphlet which is witty, elusive, and deeply endearing.”
Review by Nell Prince in Sphinx Review
“…Kang’s City Poems highlights the dangers of being heartfelt and literary. The poet reminds us that sometimes Creative Writing classes are just someone’s job.”
