Her poems also cover identity issues with her race and religion\/spirituality. Compared to the likes of Walt Whitman and Sylvia Plath, Yamashiro's writing emanates the artistry and transparency reminiscent of surrealism and confessional poetry, respectively. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven with the heavy subjects she often writes on, a sizeable portion of these works are empowering and optimistic. Within every abuse\/ trauma survivor is the core that fights back: the vigor which knows the strength that has never left. This collection shows both the struggle against life's tribulations and the acknowledgement of a survivor's power. Yamashiro's poetry is her peach-pit gas mask, giving her the vitality to navigate through life's mustard gas-filled battlefield of opposition and obstacles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sammi Yamashiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1736850202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781736850206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sammi Yamashiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Sammi Yamashiro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988678541567,"sku":"9781736850206","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c8a8d15-4d8d-4c56-8bdd-cb7102bda6ba.jpg?v=1683295776","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-peach-pit-mask-sammi-yamashiro-9781736850206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
