What comes before a language and a home, and what comes after—if “after” exists at all? The first title from Kaya Press’ Milkteeth imprint, Maya Lu’s Double Happiness meanders through family gardens and Chinese zodiac cycles, personal and political histories. Responding to a 对联 passed on from her mother, Lu tends to the lost and the inherited, “choosing what to dig out / and what to leave behind” between generations. Blending lyric vignettes and archival photos, Double Happiness weaves dreamlike between the ever-changing landscapes of Beijing and California and the strange gaps of what memory carries. Designed by Liz Li and printed with risograph at Tiny Splendor in Los Angeles, California.
