In this uniquely narrative portrait of immigrant suburban life, readers take a lifetime tour through white, Midwestern “Biddle City.” Guiding them is the collection’s Filipina American speaker—questioning yet generous, reverent yet humorous—who has called this place home.
Leaving Biddle City is Marianne Chan’s second collection of poetry after her award-winning book, All Heathens. Her words, skill and storytelling mark the arrival of a significant new voice for the American landscape.
