Punctuated by historical images and told through multiple voices, languages, literary forms and documents, West: A Translationexplores what unites and divides America, drawing a powerful, necessary connection between the completion of the transcontinental railroad and the Chinese Exclusion Act.

In 2018, Utah Poet Laureate Paisley Rekdal was commissioned to write a poem commemorating the 150th anniversary of the transcontinental railroad. The result is West: A Translation-an unflinching hybrid collection of poems and essays that draws a powerful, necessary connection between the railroad's completion and the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882-1943). Carved into the walls of the Angel Island Immigration Station, where Chinese migrants to the United States were detained during the Chinese Exclusion Act, is a poem elegizing a detainee who committed suicide. As West translates this anonymous Chinese elegy character by character, what's left is a haunting narrative distilled through the history and lens of transcontinental railroad workers, and a sweeping exploration of the railroad's cultural impact on America.

Lasts a long time
I've been using this sunscreen on myself and two kids almost daily for the past two months or so. And we are still not even half through one bottle - there's plenty of product in there and you only need a little bit. I like that this lotion absorbs fast and doesn't wear off for a very long time. It has a mild fragrance and a bit of an oily texture. But it does a great job protecting skin from the sun.

Quality sunscreen
Works just as expected. Don't apply too much at once, just enough for thin layer so it doesn't just sit on top of the skin and actually absorbs properly. Not too oily. The smell is pleasant and not too strong. Definitely need to reapply as directed for maximum protection. Pretty easy to open with one hand if needed, which is an added plus.

Burns eyes
I am sad to say it burns eyes. The old formula did not. This one does. My eyes are burning so bad. I can’t even keep them open to read a book. I see the trick now. Bottle reads won’t run into eyes, not won’t sting eyes.

Tears free sunscreen
Perfect for my little ones- busy at sports, this one holds sweat and tears! It does require you to apply with patience otherwise they are white ghosts until it fully absorbs but no tears and they do sometimes wiggle so it goes everywhere lol Easy to wash off and does its job protecting their kids skin nicely from the vicious sun - I would recommend!
