American Tatts

Poetry. Asian American Studies. Revised and enlarged edition. "There are two kinds of readers in English, those who are passionate fans of the poetry of Linh Dinh and those who have yet to read his writing.... Linh Dinh looks at the world with the clearest eyes imaginable, a walking example of the role of the real at the heart of the surreal."—Ron Silliman

"Reading Linh Dinh is a tonic and a revelation. His poems might have taken off the top of Dickinson's head, and then some. Linh Dinh raids and reinvents the language with an ardor bordering on delirium."—Rachel Loden

"Linh Dinh's is a unique voice in contemporary American literature. He writes with the raging wit and the soul of a poet."—Jessica Hagedorn
