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.

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

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 space around objects in the room because I'm often unnoticed'--the Filipino trait of Kapwa (interconnectedness) enables poems to arise and they bespeak: 'This is exactly what gentleness is // dragging everything up whole--.'" --Eileen R. Tabios "The structure of this book and its embedded themes are angled through Alidio's queer, Filipina perspective; while elevated through the nature of the found language of the project, her clear and independent voice--whether tackling expression of a corruptively perceived identity, longing for the presence in the everyday of intimacy, understanding intention in today's landscape of technology, or appreciating the struggle of objectification through narrative--offers an extraordinary sensibility in a world of chaos."--Greg Bem, Rain Taxi

Paris Review Staff Pick A Book Riot Must-Read Poetry Collection Soft Science explores queer, Asian American femininity. A series of Turing Test-inspired poems grounds its exploration of questions not just of identity, but of consciousness—how to be tender and feeling and still survive a violent world filled with artificial intelligence and automation. We are dropped straight into the tangled intersections of technology, violence, erasure, agency, gender, and loneliness. "Choi creates an exhilarating matrix of poetry, science, and technology." —Publishers Weekly "Franny Choi combines technology and poetry to stunning effect." –BUSTLE “…these beautiful, fractal-like poems are meditations on identity and autonomy and offer consciousness-expanding forays into topics like violence and gender, love and isolation.” –NYLON

Ideas, culture, and capital flow across national borders with unprecedented speed, but we tend not to think of poems as taking part in globalization. Jahan Ramazani shows that poetry has much to contribute to understanding literature in an extra-national frame. Indeed, the globality of poetry, he argues, stands to energize the transnational turn in the humanities. Poetry in a Global Age builds on Ramazani’s award-winning A Transnational Poetics, a book that had a catalytic effect on literary studies. Ramazani broadens his lens to discuss modern and contemporary poems not only in relation to world literature, war, and questions of orientalism but also in light of current debates over ecocriticism, translation studies, tourism, and cultural geography. He offers brilliant readings of postcolonial poets like Agha Shahid Ali, Lorna Goodison, and Daljit Nagra, as well as canonical modernists such as W. B. Yeats, Wallace Stevens, T. S. Eliot, and Marianne Moore. Ramazani shows that even when poetry seems locally rooted, its long memory of forms and words, its connections across centuries, continents, and languages, make it a powerful imaginative resource for a global age. This book makes a strong case for poetry in the future development of world literature and global studies.
