Poetry.
At once grotesque and vertiginous, It interweaves mythologies, language, sexuality, and place into a genre-busting narrative of what it is to be a migrant.".
Set simultaneously in the California desert and her native Japan, tracking migrant children who may or may not be human, or alive, Hiromi It \'s Wild Grass ON THE Riverbank will plunge you into dreamlike landscapes of volatile proliferation: shape-shifting mothers, living father-corpses, and pervasively odd vegetation.
