  VG: Critique: Vice by Ai
Ai describes her heritage as Japanese, Choctaw, Cheyenne, African American, Dutch and Scots-Irish, but has said "the insistence that one must align oneself with this or that race is basically racist" (Contemporary).
Ai's collection presents an unrelenting assault of vice that need not be interrupted by virtue in order to serve as a moral compass for humanity.
Ai's attention to the many disparities of identity - whether race, gender or creed - with respect to the resulting effects of vice on one's identity complicate the matter further.

Riding=s literary persona was public and performative: as poet, critic, publisher of books and journals, modern woman (she scandalized many with her menage B trois arrangement with Graves and his wife, painter Nancy Nicholson) and, eventually, art-martyr, with her renunciation of poetry in the early 1940's.
ACome, words, away@ is the poet=s imperative to flee the vulgar aspects of utterance: the physicality of Atongues in mouths@; the emotion-flamed petitions of Areckless hearts@; the unoriginal restraint of the common thinker.
Riding saw education as part of the poet=s role; however, responsibility was placed upon the reader to come to an understanding of the poems on the poems= terms and not according to conventional standards and forms.

 The Narrative Impulse
Ai, Frank Bidart, Ana Castillo, Alfred Corn, Thomas Disch, Suzanne Gardiner, Yusef Komunyakaa, Robert McDowell, David Mura, Carol Muske and Joyce Carol Oates, participated in panel discussions and readings where the role of narrative in poetry was explored.
Through narrative, poets explore and define identity; and through the process of identification, a reader whose gender, race, or culture is not the same as those poets' comes to understand and feel solidarity with them--the reader, that is, with good will and the ability to exercise the imagination in behalf of others.
If the difference is race, one the Festival's participants, the poet Ai, presents a crucial test case, as she suggested in comments presented before her reading, since her background ins Japanese-American, African-American, and Choctaw.

From Russia, Mexico, Buchenwald and Minnesota, the voices [in Killing Floor] speak of patricide, necrophilia, self-immolation, cannibalism and torture, converging in the single voice of an old soul, androgynous and driving, a ghost ranging space and time, drawn to moments in which the oppressed one is moved to act.
Ai is concerned with that single moment, revelatory and disassociated, which is the hinge of human history, facilitating radical change, allowing the heart to open to a new order.

 Jaramillo, "READING HURT: Persona Literature"
In her collection Sin (1986),(28) there is a stunning array of such works, in which the poet speaks as personae ranging from the Kennedy brothers, to the anonymous "Émigré" or "Prisoner," to the priest who confesses he has sexually violated an orphaned child.
Yet, this very disjuncture is what Ai's priest seeks to bridge, or to close off entirely: he wishes to become the weapon -- "a club to beat,/ a stick to heave at something" -- rather than remaining the hand that holds it.
In Ai's "The Mother's Tale," for example, a Latina mother addresses her son on the issue of heterosexual relations: she tells of her youth, where she once sliced her husband across the face for dancing with another woman.
