About this title

Synopsis

Poetry. Originally published by LINEBooks in 2008, SYBIL UNREST by Larissa Lai and Rita Wong draws out the interconnections between feminism, environmentalism, and personal-political responsibility, highlighting and questioning notions of "human" and "female" evident in contemporary North American culture. It does so by referencing "Popular cultural icons, political figures, business slogans, transnational corporations, and other presences in our media-saturated world [which] populate the lines," in the words of a reviewer from Asian-Am-Lit-Fans online journal.
