Produktbeschreibung

"Wear poetry as both perfume and armor." In Turning to Wallpaper, lush, elegant language contrasts with the disturbing and at times gruesome imagery to create a collection that knows exactly how to haunt the reader. Wong's words and artistry are vibrant with color, richly textured, defiant, and unapologetic in their boldness. Her speaker undertakes a spiritual journey of remembrance that transcends body, tradition, and even nation in the pursuit of authentic art-art that is constructed using radical acceptance of the past as a means to leave it all behind. This is a story where no wounds are softened or left unconfronted. Unconcerned with conventional beauty, it is undeniably beautiful.

Autorenporträt

Heidi Wong is a poet and artist who grew up between Beijing, Hong Kong, and New York. Since posting her digital art and poetry on social media at 15 years old, she has developed a unique voice, one of a stark juxtaposition between macabre imagery and intimate language. Her third collection, Turning to Wallpaper, focuses on the idea of transcendence of the silenced and demonized female body, conceptions of femininity and masculinity, tradition, and nation to reconcile with one's past.
