Riassunto:

Winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry, American Radiance, at turns funny, tragic, and haunting, reflects on the author&;s experience immigrating as a child to the United States from Ukraine in 1991. 

What does it mean to be an American? Luisa Muradyan doesn&;t try to provide an answer. Instead, the poems in American Radiance look for a home in history, folklore, misery, laughter, language, and Prince&;s outstretched hand. Colliding with the grand figures of late &;80s and early &;90s pop culture, Muradyan&;s imagination pushes the reader forward, confronting the painful loss of identity that assimilation brings.
