'Alive with ancestral pain and steadfast in its dispossessed ferocity, Hauntie's first collection of poems radiates with a wise rage transferred from generations before. By reattaching vocal chords to the spirit of the Hmong auntie-mother, Hauntie honors the trauma and eternal grieving of the woman who sees and experiences all, from a war littered with its many ghosts, to a land of childhood summers in Fresno. That this powerful work comes to us from a Hmong woman poet attests to the continued springing of literature in the Hmong American community along with its necessity and importance. These words that experiment with form and voice soar in their need to speak back to the self, the other, and the adversary in order to re-scribe its own vengeance. A remarkable debut, each poem howls back like a wolf far from being tethered.'' --Mai Der Vang

Patti White was raised in the military; she has now lived in eleven states, some of them twice. She studied intergroup relations at the University of Kentucky, then moved to Colorado to do pre-sentence investigations for the Fourth Judicial District courts. She returned to school to study contemporary narrative and literary theory, and now teaches literature and creative writing at the University of Alabama, where she co-founded Slash Pine Press. Her work has appeared in a number of journals, including Iowa Review, River Styx, North American Review, Forklift Ohio, New Madrid, Slippery Elm, and Gulf Coast. Patti is currently at work on a novella with eight narrators, a tornado outbreak, the somewhat undead, and the mysterious disappearance of the State of Mississippi.
