    "title": "'cultivated, / Wild, exotic': Nationalism and Internationalism in the Poetry of Shirley Geok-lin Lim",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Born in multicultural Malacca during British  rule, educated there and later in Kuala Lumpur and Boston, a long-time  resident of the USA and a visiting professor to many countries, Shirley  Geok-lin Lim seems a transnational writer  par excellence. Yet much of her later work involves looking back to  Malacca, “at a loss here, / Loosening my grip on yesterday,” afraid of  losing “[s]hades of father and mother.” She is the author of poems, short  stories, novels and a memoir, as well as literary  and social criticism. The memoir, \nAmong the White Moon Faces\n, is  subtitled, “An Asian-American Memoir of Homelands,” and the plural noun  is notable. Concentrating on her poetry, this paper charts her shifting  sense of identity as Malaccan, Malaysian, American  and as a woman of Chinese heritage whose language is English, through  “[s]peech which is sufficient enterprise,” even though in these late poems  she can feel “unmoored” and sense “the gravity / of the unmade I.”",
