Turning to Wallpaper: Poems and Art

"Wear poetry as both perfume and armor."

In Turning to Wallpaper, lush, elegant language contrasts with the disturbing and at times gruesome imagery to create a collection that knows exactly how to haunt the reader. Wong's words and artistry are vibrant with color, richly textured, defiant, and unapologetic in their boldness. Her speaker undertakes a spiritual journey of remembrance that transcends body, tradition, and even nation in the pursuit of authentic art--art that is constructed using radical acceptance of the past as a means to leave it all behind.

This is a story where no wounds are softened or left unconfronted.

Unconcerned with conventional beauty, it is undeniably beautiful.
