HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SOPHOMORE COLLECTION: Marianne Chan’s debut collection, All Heathens (Sarabande, 2020), published to much acclaim, earning her the 2021 New Writers Award from the Great Lakes Colleges Association, the 2021 Ohioana Book Award, the 2022 Association for Asian American Studies Book Award for Outstanding Achievement, and a longlist position for the 2020 Julie Suk Award in Poetry. Hanif Abdurraqib has recommended the collection in multiple interviews, citing in one with Montana Public Radio that the collection is "on my desk always...one of my favorite poetry collections." All Heathens has earned praise from outlets like Publishers Weekly, Poets & Writers, Booklist, Electric Literature, Ms. Magazine, The Los Angeles Review of Books, The Rumpus, and elsewhere.

COMPASSIONATE AND ESSENTIAL READING: Leaving Biddle City is semo-autobiographical in nature, reconciling the speaker’s experience of coming-of-age as an Asian American female in an overwhelmingly white suburbia. Through family histories and interviews and explorations of personal memory, this collection shares an important life experience that is relatable for many Americans, and is necessary reading for all.
