In poignant, witty poems, Lisa Low navigates the tensions of solidarity and hostility in white spaces as she sets out to write differently about race. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The problem of being with a white man is also a problem of writing,\" Low states in a prose poem that turns writing about identity on its head. She peers in from the outside, as if through an open ceiling: \"Like any good girl, \/ I became good \/ at watching myself.\" The poem itself becomes a site of investigation, reimagined as a dollhouse, a stage with props, an image the speaker wears like a bodysuit. These powerful and direct poems offer a counterpoint to constricting narratives about Asian American identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sure to appeal to readers of Monica Youn and Claudia Rankine, \u003ci\u003eReplica \u003c\/i\u003easks what it means to represent yourself and your experiences in a world where you are indistinguishable from others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Low\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 029935654X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299356545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Lisa Low","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474499944703,"sku":"9780299356545","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_159a50b7-cb81-4807-9a6d-2238dfb96774.jpg?v=1762317127","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/replica-lisa-low-9780299356545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
