Chen Chen's highly anticipated second collection, "Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency," delves into the complexities of family, both blood and chosen, as a queer Asian American navigating a world marked by Trump, mass shootings, and the COVID-19 pandemic. With a playful and irrepressible humor, these anarchic poems celebrate life in the face of adversity.
Hybrid in form and set in various locations, including New England, West Texas, and a landlocked province of China, the book defies neat categorizations and offers an insatiable curiosity about how we continue to find ways to hold one another. Chen Chen's debut collection, "When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities," was published in the UK by Bloodaxe in 2019.
Through his poetic lens, Chen Chen explores the inheritance of identity, the invention of self, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. "Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency" is a testament to the power of poetry to connect, heal, and inspire.
