In 712 Stanza Homes for the Sun Cat Chong gives voice to populations at the intersections of gender, literary genre, disability, race, and chronic illness. The hypnotic collection is complimented by a compelling array of internet screenshots: instagram, twitter, wikipedia etc to question how poetic language might replace dehumanising medical terminology and disrupt realities of state violence. This work engages with entangled and overlapping environmental, gendered, colonial, and medical systems and practices to inquire after radical models of love, solidarity, and care.
PRAISE FOR 712 STANZA HOMES FOR THE SUN
Thank you for your brilliance, dear poet! Cat Chong has given us an oracle born from a digital wave in all its entanglements, political, feral, singed, resilient, all very human! This living poem enfolds shards of itself onto the page, into our imaginations; I love the poet’s insistence on how we understand each step to be together again after many recent falls.
