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). Co-founded by Dao, this collective of Vietnamese womxn and nonbinary writers of the Vietnamese diaspora "engage in collaborative, polyvocal, and hybrid-poetic works to enact a politics of connection across diasporic boundaries."
