Bøger af Weyman Chan

Witness Back at Me is personal dissection that draws on the author¿s childhood episodes of disembodiment, when, through the death of his mother from cancer at age two, he lost his ability to speak for nearly two years, which is also the time when he was placed in a foster home at a dairy farm outside Calgary, from age two to four. During this time, the author recalls not inhabiting his own body, but often floating outside it and witnessing himself as ¿other.¿

Many poems deal with familial experiences, of coming to terms with the hybrid history of ethnic "outsider.”

Governor General's Award-nominee Weyman Chan draws upon 2000 years of Chinese philosophy and modes of thought in this brilliant collection.

Subtitled "notes to myself," "Hypoderm" is a manifesto of observations and recognitions of mortality that get under the poet's skin.

Weyman Chan's poems elaborate his singular and solitary work on the renaissance of the contemporary lyric form.
