Jane Shi
Relentlessly inventive poetry that proclaims a diasporic, queer, and disabled self-hood.In Jane Shi's echolalia echolalia, commitment and comedy work together to critique ongoing inequities, dehumanizing ideologies, and the body politic. Here are playful and transformative narratives of friendship and estrangement, survival and self-forgiveness. Writing against inherited violence and scarcity-producing colonial projects, Shi expresses a deep belief in one's chosen family, love and justice."Shi extends her poetics in all directions with silky skill. Language flourishes in the realm of a poet like this." - T. Liem, author of Slows: Twice and Obits.
