Becoming ghost / Cathy Linh Che.
"The follow-up to her acclaimed poetry debut, 'Split,' 'Becoming ghost' details the lives of refugees who escaped the Vietnam War and were utilized as extras in Francis Ford Coppola's film 'Apocalypse now.' This poetry collection uses persona, speculation, and the golden shovel form as a means of centering Vietnamese voices. The speaker's disownment raises questions about power, art, and the meaning of forgiveness"-- Page [4] of cover.
