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. Punctuated by historical images and told through multiple voices, languages, literary forms and documents, We

Favorite Sunblock for Toddlers –Clean, Easy, and Effective
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Spray - 5 fl oz., Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Spray - 5 fl oz.
This is my favorite sunblock for kiddos! The ingredients are very clean, and it provides excellent coverage. It’s super easy to apply to wiggly toddlers, and the easy-lock top lets me do it with just one hand. I highly, highly recommend this to parents of toddlers and young kids, it makes sun protection so much easier.

Easy application
Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Set name: Stick - 0.5 oz.
The stick’s shape makes it easy to apply on kids’ faces and provides solid sun protection. Like most zinc-based sunscreens, it leaves a noticeable white cast on the skin, which becomes less visible when rubbed in but doesn’t fully disappear.

My Go-To Brow Pencil!
Color: Deep Brown, Size: 0.006 Ounce (Pack of 1), Color: Deep Brown, Size: 0.006 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've purchased the e.l.f. Instant Lift Brow Pencil twice already, and I'll definitely be buying it again. As you can see in my photo, I used it all the way down to the last bit! The shade is a perfect match for my brows and gives them a very natural, filled-in look without appearing harsh or overly drawn. The built-in spoolie is a huge plus—it helps blend the product beautifully and keeps my brows looking soft and natural. For the price, the quality is amazing. It's easy to apply, lasts well throughout the day, and has become a staple in my makeup routine. Highly recommend!

Goes on smooth and great color
Color: Deep Brown, Size: 0.006 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Long lasting buildable color and glides on smoothly. Comparable quality and color payout to other more expensive brands. If you're not sure what color you are, the taupe is a good choice. The harder you press, the deeper the color. Great product for the price!
