2024 Best of the Net in Poetry;
fixations: body, language, forms, gaze;
at work on the cyborg cycle.against the contriving of/for "revelations" facilitated by anglo-poetic institutions' dominant lyric mode; against language unchallenged as is; against syntactic determination of what is ontologized to & of the (poetic) body; against indulgence in sentiment; for interrogation of naturalized form & syntax; for symbol+language integration to elucidate systemic relations; for situating sentiment; for fucking grammar, invert-rendering.an incomplete list of influences include qiu miaojin, helen oyeyemi, [sarah] Cavar, k-ming chang, 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, feminist movements in the global south, queer epistolary art, the modernist & postmodernist novel, postmodernism & institutionalization of the avant garde, & anti- & trans-formal & -genric prose //+ poetry.my name/pseudonym is not, as many surprisingly seem to think, an anagram of "trans".
