Shelley Wong

4.9/5 (16886 ratings)

Description:In Shelley Wong’s brilliant debut chapbook, girls look like trees and women make their own forests when the dangers of love rise. Rare Birds is a book of burning and beauty; the voices within these pages are multiple and multiply: they speak from the shadow of Frida Kahlo, the broken and exalted “I,” the “we” once named suspect— a tribe now rising. Mangoes, jets, heels, and salt—those objects of the heart—usher in a world both common and strange, a world where “the men carve me, but my bones / cut back.” Prepared to be astonished, seduced, and transformed by the poems woven and sung here: “I peacock in the in-between,” proclaims the speaker. “I multiply like a queen.”Brynn Saito, author of Power Made Us Swoon Shelley Wong is a Kundiman fellow who lives in Oakland, California.
