Description
Waking Occupations Poems by Phoebe Wang is a powerful collection of poems that contemplate our obligations to live in a creative and generative way. This four-part meditation explores what it means to live on occupied land and in colonial time, inviting the reader to reflect on their own commitments and complicity. Through the figure of the female artist, Wang weaves together memories, objects, events, and works of art that hold us accountable. The poems enact brief encounters with these elements, searching for traces of the wild and ceremonies that might mend us. A set of shadow elegies mourn what the next generation has already lost, while seeking to heal from past exclusions and difficult truths. This urgent collection considers what we carry from previous generations and our liabilities to the cyclical nature of work that uplifts us.
