In Tender Revolutions/Yellow Songs, personal post-war and diasporic herstories are revisited by means of the Vietnamese creation myth, a multi-part origin story told at the outset by Dao, and further narrated by her two poet-collaborators Barbara Tran and Hoa Nguyen, fellow members of She Who Has No Master(s).
