Afterland: Poems by Mai Der Vang
Afterland is a powerful, essential collection of poetry that recounts with devastating detail the Hmong exodus from Laos and the fate of thousands of refugees seeking asylum. Mai Der Vang is telling the story of her own family, and by doing so, she also provides an essential history of the Hmong culture's ongoing resilience in exile. With poems of extraordinary force and grace, Afterland holds an original place in American poetry and lands with a sense of humanity saved, of outrage, of a deep tradition broken by war and ocean - but still intact, remembered, and lived.Mai Der Vang is a coeditor of How Do I Begin: A Hmong American Literary Anthology and a member of the Hmong American Writers' Circle's editorial board. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The Washington Post, among other publications.
