Poet Kenji C. Liu recently shared some initial notes towards a decolonized imagination of poetry over at Entropy Magazine, framing the issue of American poetics through the metaphor of zombies and vampires, and wherein multilingual verse comes in, particularly examining Japanese American poetry.
Kenji C. Liu is the author of the recent book Map of an Onion, national winner of the 2015 Hillary Gravendyk Poetry Prize. His poetry is in American Poetry Review, Action Yes!, Split This Rock’s poem of the week series, several anthologies, and a chapbook, You Left Without Your Shoes. He has received fellowships from Kundiman, VONA/Voices, Djerassi, and the Community of Writers.
