The poet, a daughter of a Vietnamese refugee, navigates the epigenetics of trauma passed down, and across, the archives of war, dislocation, and witness, as she repeatedly asks, \"Why did you just stand there and say nothing?\" Here, the space of accusation becomes both lyric and machine, an \"investigation\" which takes place in the margins of martial law, the source material being soldiers' testimonies given during three internationally publicized events, in this order-The Incident on Hill 192 (1966, Phù Mỹ District, Vietnam); The Winter Soldier Investigation (1971, Detroit, USA); and The Russell Tribunal (1966, Stockholm, Sweden; 1967, Roskilde, Denmark). Ultimately, however, \u003ci\u003e Winter Phoenix\u003c\/i\u003e is a document of resilience. Language decays. A ceremony eclipses its trial, and the radical possibilities of a single scream rises from annihilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSophia Terazawa is a poet and performer of Vietnamese-Japanese descent working with ghosts.
