at work on the cyborg cycle.against the contriving of/for “revelations" facilitated by the anglopoetic lyric mode; against language unchallenged as is; against syntactic determination of what is ontologized to & of the (poetic) body; against indulgence in sentiment; against “representation"; for interrogation of naturalized form & syntax; for radical expansion work on poetic semiotic possibiities; for mathematical symbols; for a felt coldness; for situating sentiment; for fucking grammar, invert-rendering.an incomplete list of influences include qiu miaojin, ava hofmann, helen oyeyemi, [sarah] Cavar, k-ming chang, aung cheimt, jos charles, layli long soldier, greer lankton, & alice notley. i enjoy discussing/ writing on/ reading about trans & lesbian subject formation & desire negotiation processes, 2000s-2010s alt j-rock, shoujosei anime & manga (in particular, grounded josei human dramas and the year 24 group), yuri, materialist transfeminism(s), feminist movements in the global south, queer epistolary art, the modernist novel, the contemporary burmese novel & its slow evolution away from khit-san nationalist ethos & khit-por occidentalist pastiche, postmodernism & institutionalization of the avant-garde, & trans-formal & -genric prose //+ poetry.i stand & act against the neocolonial zionist & burmanization projects.my name/pseudonym is not, as many surprisingly seem to think, an anagram of “trans".lately, my favorite musicians are backxwash & ptite soeur & yikii & teaadora. i love revolutionary girl utena & nananan kiriko's blue & nanae haruno manga & ikoku nikki & chainsaw man. my favorite movie is funeral parade of roses (1969) dir. toshio matsumoto. i love my friends' art. i love when friends & lovers make art together or in interdependent practice of respective crafts, which is to say i buy into the new york school hype & am more than happy to collaborate on projects if we know each other <3 i'm working on my debut collection with/about robotgirls, a collaborative zine/VN about & around kigurumi & dolls, & helping my friends with their translation of the french rap project pretty dollcorpse.
