Promotional graphic for a series of poems titled "War Woman" by Thu Pham. A bronze statue of a warrior atop a rearing horse is stark against the blue background of the sky.

Read Thu Pham's series of reflections on her family's heritage and her own conflicted identity in Process's latest issue, On Memory.
