Cathy Park Hong writes poetry and essays about race, language, art and Asian American identity. Minor Feelings combines memoir, cultural criticism and literary analysis to examine emotions such as shame, suspicion and alienation that arise from living inside racial stereotypes and social expectations. Her poetry collections, including Dance Dance Revolution and Engine Empire, use invented dialects, collage and speculative settings to question how language carries power and history. Hong's work is sharp, formally adventurous and politically direct. These books sit naturally among Asian American essays, experimental poetry, cultural criticism and writing about race and language.
