Spotlight Feature in Queer Southeast Asia
My voice is eternal, according to editor Bbp Hosmillo in his FB announcement. Thanks for featuring my work in your first spotlight feature of QUEER SOUTHEAST ASIA . Three Palinodes in the Voice of My Dead Father: one about my father seeing all Indians as the same Indian in the afterlife; one about my father and WWII; and one about his ball pein hammer and other tools. Download the PDF to read the poems in full. Tania De Rozario, whose hybrid memoir AND THE WALLS COME CRUMBLING DOWN, was released in the US by Gaudy Boy last September, is featured too. Heartbreaking essay about how her church tried to exorcise her queerness out of her, and the failure of family to protect her from the violation. Particularly poignant is the moment when her grandmother smashed up a beloved painting of The Last Supper because she was told that it was an artifact of idolatry.
