These complex poems are, at times, aesthetic mediations, dissections of human relationships, internal monologues, and political inquiry. That Mong-Lan succeeds at such an ambitious project in writing that is visually striking, musically complex, unabashedly erotic and deeply intelligent, is testimony to her very great poetic talents. This is a marvelous book, one I’ll return to again and again. </font><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman">--Kevin Prufer</font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman"> </font><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" color="#0000ff" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman; color: #0000ff"><a href="http://monglan.com/third_book_Milonga.htm"><u><i>Tango, Tangoing: Poems & Art</i></u></a></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman"><br> Poetry and Pen and Ink Drawings <br> of Tango Dancers by Mong-Lan<br> Valiant Press, Spring 2008<br> Ask for it at your favorite bookstore, or go online and order directly from bookstores such as <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0615188001/monglan04-20"><font color="#0000ff" style="color: #0000ff"><u>Amazon.com</u></font></a><br> ISBN: 978-0-6151-8800-3</font></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times New Roman"> </font></p><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; "><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; "><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; "><b><i>D Charles Whitney, Professor and Chair</i></b></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">Department of Creative Writing, 4119 INTS</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">U of California, Riverside CA 92521</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">951.827.6076 FAX 951.827.3619</span></font></div></span></i></b></span></font></div></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span> </div><br></body></html>
