“An anthology that should become a mainstay of poetry classrooms.”

“[O]ne of the most exciting poetry anthologies to arrive this season. [...] It is as Silvieus and Herrick say: the poems in this anthology are also miraculous "artifacts to be explored, contemplated, and savored as gifts.” - Luisa A. Igloria

“The poems of The World I Leave You deal with the inheritance of religion and culture, grapple with the politicization of Asian American identities, and weave spiritual experiences into personal, familial and national memories. [...] [This] anthology...puts faith and spirit in what I hope is an emerging and growing dialogue with the Asian American reader.” - Cathy Duong

“Whether read by those who identify within the Asian American diaspora or otherwise, The World I Leave You offers many entry points into geography and history, into faith and spirit, and into language and poetry. The voices here are multifaceted yet interconnected, portraying an ever-expanding world into which readers are invited.” - Julie Wan
