Synopsis

“There is no version of this wherein I am given the time machine and do not destroy it,” writes Siew Hii in this wide-ranging collection that offers a poet’s perspective on what it means to be a queer Asian American in the American South. Exuding wit and profound insight, Hii’s is a voice that can elicit both laughter and sober reflection within the space of a few lines. In an explosion of different styles and formats, they deliver precise, cutting observations about self, family, and strangers. From taking aim at Hollywood’s representations of identity, to exploring the meaning and dynamics of family, to describing their adopted home of Florida through a set of formally explosive poems, Hii makes sense of an unjust and absurd world, all the while exhibiting genuine curiosity and humor. Entered Some Aliens offers rare and powerful insight into feeling out of place and out of time.
