A. Poulin, Jr. New Poets of America |
| Pages: |
96 |
| Description: |
This award-winning debut interrogates the fragile, inherited ways of approaching love and family from Asian American, immigrant, and queer perspectives. |
| Synopsis: |
The recipient of the 2016 A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize, Chen has been awarded fellowships from Kundiman, the Saltonstall Foundation, Lambda Literary, and in 2015, he was a finalist for the Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Fellowships. Chen is already well known in the poetry community, especially among emerging poets. His poems have been widely published in journals and chapbooks, and his work has received significant attention from such places as PBS NewsHour ("Chen Chen on writing poetry while Chinese, American, and gay," April 2016).One of the book's main strengths is its ability to speak to different audiences and/or multiple levels of readership: the poetry newbie and the poetry professor. The book carries accessible language, humor, pop culture references, and narrative arcs, but also plenty of intellectual references for poetry aficionados. The author's race, sexuality, and immigration status are inextricably tethered to the book, which is one of its strengths. There is a "New York School of Poets" quality to Chen's poetry, similar to that of Allen Ginsberg, Frank O'Hara, and Kenneth Koch. His writing on identity (particularly for queer persons of color) ties his poems to those of Danez Smith, Ocean Vuong, and Derrick Austin, among others. |
