Description
Stephanie Sy-Quia's debut book-length poem explores the complexities of identity and belonging through her own migratory history. Spanning multiple countries and continents, Amnion delves into themes of colonialism, class, and family legacy. Through acts of bravery and resistance, the poet charts a chronicle of a family's history divided by geography and language, revealing how one generation's actions can reverberate through time. This innovative work combines elements of fiction, epic poetry, and the lyric essay to create an undulating emotional landscape that celebrates both the joy of living and the power of art. With its broad intellect and nuanced exploration of identity, Amnion offers a unique perspective on what it means to be a person with multiple countries and heritages.
