Synopsis
How to Write an Essay is an attempt for the time being. These poems take seriously John D'Agata's question-and-answer: "What is a lyric essay? It's an oxymoron: an essay that's also a lyric; a kind of logic that wants to sing; an argument that has no chance of proving anything." Trying and failing, in other words, is a complete poetics. In lyrics and broken prose, Lucy Xiang-fu Wainger interrogates desire, memory, the dialectic between thinking and feeling, and what it means to have once been a child. Read and know that you are the exact, specific person to whom she is speaking.

How to Write an Essay (Paperback)
Print on DemandSeller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Lucy Xiang-fu Wainger's How to Write an Essay excels in its study of human nature, set to the backdrop of academia. Chosen as the winning fall chapbook from Palette Poetry's 2025 Micro Chapbook Prize, the poems in How to Write an Essay explore the relationship between reader and writer, the value in collecting memories, and the important act of witnessing through one's writing. In her work, the idea of private versus public is constantly at play, questioning what the writer has to publicly unveil about her private life in the name of understanding or self-discovery. There is a war between the logical and emotional self, the overthinker and the instinctual writer. Through Wainger's open curiosity and woven philosophical webs, this collection of poems chases a thesis through the halls of a universally familiar school. Lucy Xiang-fu Wainger's How to Write an Essay was selected as the fall winner of the 2025 Micro Chapbook Prize from Palette Poetry. Her book is one of four in this collection of seasonal chapbooks.
