Greenhouses, Lighthouses
Tung-Hui Hu
Weaving between the personal and cosmic I, Hu’s lyrics seek the “greenhouse” (a place of saturation, growth) as a poetic space to cultivate new modes through which our common language can once again illuminate and guide (lighthouse) existence and experience. The collection is full of longing for connection with others and something greater than our referential selves, while refusing to name or define what exactly is sought or how to reach it.
