“In Erotic Continent Yuyi Chen guides us through an America we both do and don’t recognize: a “land of malls”; a “rumor of a country” while all along caught in a state of linguistic vertigo, caught between languages, “sleeping in languages” they both do and do not speak. Chen’s freshly intelligent meditations on the immigrant experience, family, language, and sexuality bring us into their world, a world always on the verge; a world that is fragile, where bed sheets disappear, a world where coming home is never quite what you expect, but is rather “the residue of [a] dream”, impatient but always, in these poems, very sparkly.” - Ann Pedone
