Why Letter Ellipses Kimberly Alidio

Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. History is really an invitation / by way of arranged language / to read the occulted / in plain sight: / a poem. // This book is a commingling of archives / with copious attributions / without peer review or a known market. / A history in which the document / is contemporary nonfiction / represented in verse // language's contemporaneity taken back / from archive-as-Empire's governance / and my poem journals are archival.--from CODA
