18th Annual LA Times Festival of Books Presents Ann Yu Huang's LOVE RHYTHMS, 4/20

Ann Yu Huang's collection of poems, "Love Rhythms," will be featured at the 18th Annual Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at USC April 20-21. The collection was written to satisfy an "insatiable desire to recover lost time, as well as the excitement and freshness of approaching something through writing," said the author.

In a review of the collection, OC Metro editor Steven M. Thomas said, "...a local poet's fanciful works take on a fairy-tale quality with bright, clear images...the poems move seamlessly from emotion to material object, drawing in the physical world into the poet's feelings, like water absorbed in a sponge, and radiating personality into the exterior environment."

"Huang's stunning collection 'Love Rhythms,'" writes poet Leah Maines, "... is deftly written and elegant in utterance. Huang's skill as a poet makes this an unforgettable collection."

Poet Leslie Ullman calls 'Love Rhythms' "...a dreamscape of someone living in suspension-between homelands and within the changing currents of love. Through her vision, colored by exile and desire, details in the everyday world take on clarity and startling, exquisite strangeness. Huang makes the world anew."

Huang is excited to feature 'Love Rhythms' at the 18th Annual Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at USC April 20-21.
