| book description |

By day, Feng Sun Chen works at a nursing home in Minneapolis, by night she creates biting poetry like that found in her much-talked about first book, Butcherâ€™s Tree. In her second collection, The 8th House, Chen peels away the exterior of lifeâ€™s pink underbelly page by page, smelling the meaning in a motherâ€™s stew, carving light from holy grit, dissecting the surging waves of longing and love. These voices occupy the astrological 8th House, a house known for its healers and perversions, ruled by Pluto, where sex, death, and rebirth intersect and consume one another. Continuing to slice away at the distinctions between self and other, animal and human, male and female, the speaker of these poems â€œexposes by being exposed.â€
