  Primordial - Poems

  Mai Der Vang

  • 0

  Mai Der Vang's poetry—lyrically insistent and visually compelling—constitutes a groundbreaking investigation into the collective trauma and resilience experienced by Hmong people and communities, the ongoing cultural and environmental repercussions of the war in Vietnam, the lives of refugees afterward, and the postmemory carried by their descendants. Primordial is a crucial turn to the ecological and generational impact of violence, a powerful and rousing meditation on climate, origin, and fate. 
   
   
   
  With profound and attentive care, Vang addresses the plight of the saola, an extremely rare and critically endangered animal native to the Annamite Mountains in Laos and Vietnam. Remarkably, the saola has only been known to the outside world since 1992, and sightings are so rare that it has now been more than a decade since the last known image of one was captured in a camera trap photo in 2013. 
   
   
   
  Primordial examines the saola's relationship to Hmong refugee identity and cosmology and a shared sense of exile, precarity, privacy, and survival. Can a war-torn landscape and memory provide sanctuary, and what are the consequences for our climate, our origins, our ability to belong to a homeland? Written during a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period, Vang's poems are urgent stays against extinction.

  The captain of the Titanic went down with his ship on 15 April, 1912. But thoughts have power, and those who endure in the stories of the living are said to continue to roam the world after their deaths. And so the captain wanders in search of the things he tried to find in life, and discovers his destiny intimately entwined with a painter who shares the same fate, not knowing that their paths had crossed a long time ago. 
   
  The Impermanence of Lilies is a melancholic tribute to the nature of life and a yearning for love, in a story that reaches across lifetimes, borders, and the space between two hearts. 
   
   
  "A poetic, poignant love letter to life. Daniel Yeo has important things to tell us about the painful beauty of impermanence, and he tells them with a tender lyricism." 
  -Melissa de Villiers, author of The Chameleon House 
   
  “A wistful travel narrative by the RMS Titanic Captain that dives into preternatural waters, flowing into surprising and surrealist tributaries of reflections on death, memory, identity, friendship, and unwaveringly, love.” 
  -Cyril Wong, poet and fictionist

  Thomas Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday is a lively and heartwarming comedy that celebrates the dignity of everyday life, the joy of community, and the enduring power of love and ambition. First performed at the turn of the 17th century, this Elizabethan play stands out for its vibrant portrayal of working-class life, offering a refreshing contrast to the courtly dramas of its time.
  
  Set in the bustling streets of London, the story weaves together the lives of craftsmen, merchants, and nobles, blending romance, humor, and social commentary. At its center is Simon Eyre, a cheerful and energetic shoemaker whose good nature, generosity, and entrepreneurial spirit lead him on a remarkable rise from humble beginnings to a position of prominence. His infectious enthusiasm and kind-hearted leadership make him one of the most memorable and beloved characters in early English drama.
  
  Alongside Eyre's story runs a tale of love and disguise, as the young nobleman Rowland Lacy returns from war and, in order to be near his beloved Rose, adopts the identity of a shoemaker. This dual narrative allows Dekker to explore themes of social mobility, class boundaries, and the value of honest work, while also delivering moments of comedy, romance, and gentle satire.
  
  Dekker's writing is warm, energetic, and filled with a genuine affection for his characters. Unlike many plays of the period that focus on corruption and tragedy, The Shoemaker's Holiday offers an optimistic vision of society, where kindness, hard work, and community spirit can lead to success and happiness. The play also captures the vibrant atmosphere of London life, from busy workshops to festive celebrations, creating a rich and engaging setting.
  
  The Shoemaker's Holiday remains a delightful and enduring work of English literature, celebrated for its humor, humanity, and spirited storytelling. It is a joyful tribute to ordinary people and their extraordinary potential, making it a timeless favorite for readers who appreciate classic theatre, uplifting narratives, and the charm of Elizabethan comedy.
