The Floral Apron
Marilyn Chin
1994
Introduction
Like much of Marilyn Chin's poetry, The Floral Apron
depicts the struggle to reconcile living in two different cultures. This free-verse lyrical poem has clear feminist overtones and uses bold imagery to appeal to the reader's senses. The imagery explores the themes of cultural and personal identity along with the concept of assimilation.
