Pineapple Express

Poetry. PINEAPPLE EXPRESS is rooted in the mind and its disorders. This collection explores moods, medications and side effects, capturing the flatness of depression while still making the language sing. It also probes the landscape of mid-life in all its manifestations: physical changes, psychological upheaval, the notion of becoming "invisible," aging and loss, mortality, and the haunting of family and cultural history. PINEAPPLE EXPRESS is Evelyn Lau's eighth collection of poetry and marks an important contribution to the literature on depression.
