Hot Off the Press! SUBTEXT Has Arrived!

The new work of poetry by Nicole Raziya Fong is here! SUBTEXT collages the echoes of diasporic and colonial histories through poetry, drama, autobiography, and archival uncovering. Dwelling in the bubbling froth of dreamwork, these poems take a multifaceted approach to questions of diaspora and selfhood, incorporating visual and textual elements that dialogue with one another and ask readers to negotiate the unsteady shoals of identity and history.

An excerpt from SUBTEXT:

“Memory levels the spaces I’ve
set aside for transformation.
Transformation is bottomless,
protracted by a thin film of
memory. This film contains
images which gaze eternally into
themselves. The images expand
and evolve in their own way, but
this iterative fiction never forms
a conclusive body.”

SUBTEXT peers into the imperceptible psychic strata created by intergenerational trauma, confronting the challenge of finding one’s place in a sensorium of concealed realities and obscured memories. Order your copy of this thoughtful, multidisciplinary book here.
