Why Letter Ellipses
Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. History is really an invitation / by way of arranged language / to read the occulted / in plain sight: / a poem. // This book is a commingling of archives / with copious attributions / without peer review or a known market. / A history in which the document / is contemporary nonfiction / represented in verse // language's contemporaneity taken back / from archive-as-Empire's governance / and my poem journals are archival.-from CODA
Once Teeth Bones Coral :
Poetry. A rendering of queer affects of desire, loss, and travel: ONCE TEETH BONES CORAL: undoes in language normative relations of self, lover, body, nature, verb, noun, adjective, and concept.
After Projects the Resound
Poetry. "'The exhausted object have no body of work," says one poem in Kimberly Alidio's AFTER PROJECTS THE RESOUND. But that's just surface. Ever lurking and in ALL CAPS even are potential poems that would affirm, 'LOL AGENCY AND THE COURAGE TO SPEAK.' From the 'howling on YouTube' to 'Igorots at St. Louis' to the 'new sardonic' to 'a heart hit twice by shrapnel,' the poems skitter over, infiltrate, radiate, revolt from, and apply 'karaoke studies' to interrogate both history and contemporary culture, especially cracks and what lurks within them. These poems are attuned to as many zeitgeists as reveal themselves. From Alidio's dissecting eyes and focused hands--the 'I [who] can sense the sp...
Filipino Studies
After years of occupying a vexed position in the American academy, Philippine studies has come into its own, emerging as a trenchant and dynamic space of inquiry. Filipino Studies is a field-defining collection of vibrant voices, critical perspectives, and provocative ideas about the cultural, political, and economic state of the Philippines and its diaspora. Traversing issues of colonialism, neoliberalism, globalization, and nationalism, this volume examines not only the past and present position of the Philippines and its people, but also advances new frameworks for re-conceptualizing this growing field. Written by a prestigious lineup of international scholars grappling with the legacies ...
Teeter
An autohistoriography of felt time that arises from subversive hearing practices and the emotional prosody of a mother tongue one does not understand but activates in another poetic language. Comprised of three long poems, Teeter knows experimental forms can be as intimate as mothering; knows we can understand languages we do not speak. From "Hearing"s intensities of attention, to "Ambient Mom"'s familial Filipino immigrant soundscapes, to "Histories"s careful scrutiny of the socially-sanctioned narratives and trajectories to which we are meant to aspire, Teeter's lessons in listening reverberate across career retrospectives and heritage languages, colonial histories and domestic intimacies, reattuning us to what we've neglected to notice in our efforts to create a life we can understand.
Deposition | Dispossession
Poetry. Introduction by Angela Hume. DEPOSITION | DISPOSESSION: CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE SUNDARBANS, the posthumously published work by Marthe Reed, responds to the ecological crises of the Sundarbans of south Bangladesh and India. The work "talks back" to climate denialism, questioning Reed's own and the United States' role in climate change and its collateral damage. Interrogative, defiant, elegiac, the writing speaks to a realm in crisis--the fragility of a landscape, its human and other-than-human inhabitants, and the Sundarbans islands and archipelagos rapidly being swallowed by rising sea levels. Under such pressures, how do the inhabitants--and we who live elsewhere on the earth--respond...
Constellarium
Constellarium chronicles the author's gender transition from biological male to female, and engages the ontological quandaries that arise from this experience. Family history and religious heritage must be reckoned with along the way. In Rice's poems, the evolving nature of the self, the fluidity of identity, and the lasting influence of the past are all held up to the soul's penetrating gaze.
Continuous Frieze Bordering Red
Continuous Frieze Bordering [Red] documents the migratory patterns of an Other as she travels between countries, languages, and shades of Rothko's red. A narrative on hybridity, the text navigates the instability of cultural border identities and functions as an ekphrasis of Rothko's bricked-in, water-damaged windows in his Seagram murals.
Educating the Empire
Examines the contested process of colonial education in the Philippines in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War.
