Description

Description

Marianne Chan's debut collection masterfully explores identity and the lasting impact of colonization. All Heathens is a powerful declaration of ownership over one's body, history, and time. These poems revisit the journey of Magellan's voyage around the world, delving into the speaker's Filipino American identity by examining her relationship with family and notions of diaspora, circumnavigation, and discovery. Chan offers witty renderings of anecdotal and folkloric histories, while also revealing a self-identity that challenges others to claim it. Through her writing, Chan preserves and unveils her own story, weaving together past and present in a nuanced exploration of identity, culture, and belonging.
