We Face the Tremendous Meat on the Teppan is a powerful immersive collage of family bonds and intergenerational trauma. It engages in a cinematic and moving time travel, where we are simultaneously in a burning castle and the castle restored, surviving war and speaking to Alexa, and the speaker and her grandmother are  both apart and united across time. This long poem of ‘Firecrackers scatter inside aluminum pots,’ ‘carbonated moons’ and ‘parchment fingers’ is masterful in its language and its interrogation of time, trauma, ancestors and what it means to be a descendant. It beautifully and horrifyingly inhabits the rich complexity of the equation: “she is here, so I am here. - Ananda Lima, author of Mother/land
