Light Year by Jennifer Wong is a meditation of time, distance and proximities, a mapping or reimagining of history and epiphanies, and an excavation of emotional truth. These poems delve into the mind of a poet crossing spaces of deep wounds, sacrifice, misunderstanding, love and healing. It offers a poet’s constellations of friendships, love and struggles as she moves through upheaval and change. The book offers subjective glimpses into the journeys of a migrant and mother, looks at what is broken and what she still holds dear in life.
