Description
Master is a powerful and deeply personal collection of poetry that explores the complexities of masculinity and trauma. Simon Shieh's debut work is a stark and surreal reckoning with his past, one that reveals the ways in which language can both perpetuate and subvert systems of oppression.
The poems in Master are a journey of healing and self-discovery, as the speaker grapples with the legacy of violence and seeks to forge a new path towards freedom. Through his use of imagery and language, Shieh sheds light on the ways in which our experiences shape us, and how we can work to transform those experiences into something positive.
Winner of the 2022 Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry, Master is a thought-provoking and deeply moving collection that will resonate with anyone who has struggled with their own identity or sense of purpose.
