WALING WALING PALPITATIONS
“These poems are multidimensional in the purest sense—multi-lingual, multimodal, multi-gender, multi-genre. They reach through time and space toward wounds ancestral and cultural, earthy and personal, then name them with an honesty as fierce as it is tender.” –Lisbeth White, author of American Sycamore
“A kaleidoscopic, multisensory, and mesmerizing work, Waling waling palpitations is a heart-wrenching spectacle, a fractal celebration of queer joy, a supernatural conjuration of matrilineal lineages past and present, a permutative drag performance, and a true decolonial heartbreaking gesture that enters you, touches you, makes contact with every cell of your body and being, and carries you through an unbelievably beautiful and transformational journey.” —Janice Lee, author of Oregon Book Award Finalist Separation Anxiety
