"The image and fact of seeds sprout all over Chacon's poems together with eating, appetite, and hunger. Hers is a vivid, vital imagination, leaping from California to her mother's Philippine familial biosphere and back. Her language is fresh, sharply felt, like the stories of pioneering Filipino Americans whose American struggles the poems sweetly, edgily, violently push off the page."
