Work Overview

This piece was written as a tone poem based on Miriam Wei Wei Lo's poem "A Few Thoughts on Multiple Identity". Miriam describes the struggle with having multiple cultural identities as two rivers. As you can see in the poem that follows, there are two poems describing two rivers and cultures which appear side by side. The imagery invoked in the first column is that of a Malaysian river market (the poet traces her Chinese heritage via Sarawak in Malaysia to Canton in China) and in the second of life near an Australian river inlet.
