Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Art. Asian American Studies. Poems by Michelle Naka Pierce and images by Sue Hammond West. It is an ekphrasis of the female form, one which writes a woman into being where the woman cannot be. It is a reverse-ekphrasis of the formal female, one which images what might be a woman were woman not imagined. Pierce and Hammond West's SHE, A BLUEPRINT underscores that every grid is someone's narrative, and there is only necessity in the thrust of us--Vanessa Place.
