List of Asian American Books of Poetry

Below is my list of titles of Asian-American books of poetry that some people wanted. (It's actually about 135 books, not about 150, as I'd thought it was.) As I said before, I didn't want to post this list, because I regard it as incomplete, haphazard, and ultimately unsatisfying, but since I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is, I've posted it here with three disclaimers:

1. Disclaimer #1: This list does NOT include any Asian-American book of poetry published 2002 or afterwards. I haven't updated it since 2002.
2. Disclaimer #2: This list does NOT include any Asian-American book of poetry owned by Duke Libraries as of 2002. As noted before, my purpose for making the list was to get Duke Libraries to order these books. (You will thus note the lack of Li-Young Lee books, for example, since Duke Libraries has those books.)
3. Disclaimer #3: Just wanted to emphasize again, this list is NOT comprehensive in any way. It's mainly just a starting point. I used a great Asian American Writers' Workshop (AAWW) list of books of poetry as a starting point, but I know that not all Asian American books of poetry were listed there, and I've probably missed many books. If you'd like, you can post additional authors and titles in comments; some authors/titles not in this list may be relatively obvious.

I wanted to update it before posting, but I haven't had the time. Hope you enjoy!
