Overview

Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. A new collection six years after Nicholas Wong won the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry, BESIEGE ME opens with a timely mocking tone that confronts the tension between China and Hong Kong. Poems in the book speak queerly of urban existences crushed by political and economic powers –What cities & bodies deny a sometime-crisis, / not knowing they’re a series of which?

BESIEGE ME seeks for a redefinition of transcultural poetics with its linguistic playfulness.
