Quilted

Georgia-mae Tan's Quilted is a graceful patchwork of ruminations. These twenty poems examine the cross-roads of cultural identity, ambiguity of memory, and the bittersweet nuances of love and loss as personal desires contend with obligation in a distinctive and defiant celebration of girlhood.



Negotiating the future at the intersection of past and present, these poems are born in bold worlds that chart ever-changing textures, shapes and sounds as they shift across natural and domestic landscapes.



Immersed in the intimacies of playful first conversations, the warmth and comfort of a home-cooked meal or vignettes of a sleepy town, Quilted explores the abundant possibilities of light and growth in the spaces we inhabit.
