More Than Skin Deep Poetry in English and Chinese

In these poems, created in both English and Chinese, Lien Chao evokes the lives of Asian Canadians in all their diversity and depth, as the reflects on the issues of identity, assimilation, and language. These issues occur in the very act of confronting the two very different languages-Chinese and English-with each other, so that the confrontation itself becomes a metaphor for adaptation and conflict of cultures in Canada.
