Foretokens by Sarah Howe
Foretokens is a lyrical collection in which Sarah Howe examines family, memory and belonging. Centered on the story of her mother—found as an abandoned baby in early Communist China and raised by another woman—the poems sift through emigration, language and inherited narratives as the poet, now a mother herself, re-reads and remakes a fragmented past. Intimate and reflective, the book traces what is lost and recovered across generations without revealing specific plot details.
