Description
Shelley Wong's debut poetry collection As She Appears foregrounds queer women of color in their being and becoming. Following the end of a relationship marked by silence, a woman embodies desire and self-love, transforming her surroundings through art and beauty as a means of sanctuary and subversion. These poems explore how women inhabit and remake their environment, drawing on themes such as Pride dances, late-night conversations, and memories that permeate suburban California landscapes. Wong's writing is marked by precision and praise, capturing the ecstatic joys of identity and community. As She Appears invites queer women of color to arrive in love, exactly as they are, through a celebration of beauty, self-love, and resilience.
