Book Descriptions :

***LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD*** ***WINNER OF THE 2023 LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD*** Winner of the Pamet River Prize, Shelley Wong?s debut,?As She Appears, foregrounds queer women of color in their being and becoming. Following the end of a relationship?that was?marked by silence, a woman crosses over and embodies the expanse of desire and?self-love. Other speakers transform the natural world and themselves, using?art and?beauty as a means of sanctuary and subversion. With both praise and precision, Wong considers how women inhabit and remake their environment.?The ecstatic joys of?Pride dances and late-night Chinatown meals, conversations with Frida Kahlo, trees that ?burst into glamour,? and layers of memory permeate these poems as they travel through suburban California, perfumed fashion runways, to a Fire Island summer. Wong writes in the space where so many do not appear?as an invitation for queer women of color to arrive in love, exactly as they are. .
