Engine Empire is a trilogy of lyric and narrative poems that evoke an array of genres and voices, from Western ballads to sonnets about industrialized China to fragmented lyric poems set in the future. Through three distinct yet interconnected sequences, Cathy Park Hong explores the collective consciousness of fictionalized boomtowns in order to explore the myth of prosperity. The first sequence, called "Ballad of Our Jim," draws inspiration from the Old West and follows a band of outlaw fortune seekers who travel to a California mining town during the 1800s. In the second sequence, "Shangdu, My Artful Boomtown " a fictional industrialized boomtown draws its inspiration from present-day Shenzhen, China. The third and last section, "The World Cloud," is set in the far future and tracks how individual consciousness breaks up when everything--books, our private memories--becomes immediately accessible data. One of our most startlingly original poets, Hong draws together individual voices at odds with the world, voices that sing their wonder and terror.

Wonderful Face Wipes
Scent: Night Calming, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
I use Amazon's brand face cleaners every day.And they are wonderful! I also have rosacea , and these never bother it. I buy the lavender scent which is very soothing and smells wonderful. It is not overpowering, but just a light scent.

Best facial mist perfect in every way!
Scent: Lavender, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this! I tried it and took a chance and it’s literally the best face spray I’ve used. The Mr. is perfect, it makes you feel refreshed, it smells great. It doesn’t burn and it makes your complexion look Dewey and feels like it tightens your skin a little, but in the right way. It’s a nice sized bottle and the price point is perfect. I’ll probably never stop buying it. I highly recommend it. It’s not just for make up. It’s for anybody that wants their skin to be healthy and hydrated. Try it. You won’t regret it.

Refreshing, gentle and soothing
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 3 ounce (Pack of 1)
The Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Facial Mist is amazing! It feels incredibly refreshing on the skin and provides instant hydration without any stinging or dryness. I love that it’s alcohol-free, so it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin while still helping to tone and soothe. The mist is fine and evenly distributed, making it perfect for a quick pick-me-up during the day or as part of a skincare routine. My skin feels soft, calm, and revitalized after each use. Overall, this facial mist is a must-have for anyone looking to refresh, hydrate, and care for their skin naturally. Highly recommend!
