11 SPD BOOKS TO HELP YOU SEE THE UNSEEN

IN THIS WEEK’S SPDCLICKHOLE by Ayame Keane-Lee (our inimitable high school intern)

I just recently wrapped my High School’s production ofthe  Vagina Monologues in which I, admittedly, was one of the loudest cast members. In my monologue, “Reclaiming Cunt,” I yelled “cunt” and the letters within it in various tones.

I was approached by one of my cast members who told me her dad said: “The cunt girl was really good! I would never have expected that voice from her.”

This instance reminded me of who I am, an East-Asian girl, and how for the rest of my life people will assume certain behaviors from me. When I heard that this month’s #SPDhandpicked theme is THE UNSEEN it made me think about all the unseen aspects of being non-white or non-straight, or non-cis, or some kind of mixture of all three.

To me, The Unseen is all about exploring the unknown--wading in it, breathing in it, describing it.

So, for this month’s #SPDhandpicked listicle I found books that describe/explore/study the lives of people often unseen or hidden from us.

1. You're The Most Beautiful Thing That Happened by Arisa White (Augury Books)

“YOU’RE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING THAT HAPPENED pronounces while simultaneously exploring that which cannot be enunciated. White best articulates this work as entering into a conversation that centers ‘black queer female desire,’ and finding the possibilities of meaning that those labels can't encompass.”-Carrie Y. T. Kholi

2. Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit by Aisha Sabatini Sloan (1913 Press)

“DREAMING OF RAMADI IN DETROIT is an otherworldly meditation on the elasticity of memory, the liveliness of blackness and possibilities of the essay. Aisha Sabatini Sloan manages to produce a collection of essays that are at once innovative, inspiring, sobering, and absolutely terrifying while daring every other essayist in the country to catch up.” - Kiese Laymon

3. Fanon City Meu by Jaime Luis Huenún, translated by Thomas Rothe (Dialogos / Lavender Ink)

“In some quarters, the term ‘globalization’ may yet have beneficent connotations. But in this remarkably powerful and prophetic collection of poetry by award-winning Chilean poet Jaime Luis Huenún (b. 1967), global means the planetary dissemination of inequality and rage accumulated over the centuries and deposited in a single society of new masters and slaves, who speak a mixture of languages on the honed blade of these poems that cut like a machete. Make no mistake. Huenún is not a poet who minces his words in FANON CITY MEU. With a certain resignation capable of assimilating prior defeats and not exempt from bitterness, he presents his denunciation of these conditions from within an historical past that is simultaneously a message and an exhortation from the future. - Steven F. White

4. tasks by Victor Rodriguez Núñez (co-im-press)

"A Cuban poet who has spent much of his adult life outside Cuba, Rodríguez Núñez takes to all he sees and feels in poetry a consciousness of Cuba as place, as communities, and as a country isolated from his adopted home in America, as a form of restraint and dynamism...I cannot speak highly enough of this poet." - John Kinsella

5. Shadow on a Tightrope: Writings by Women on Fat Oppression by Lisa Schoenfielder and Barb Wieser, eds. (Aunt Lute Books)

“SHADOW ON A TIGHTROPE is a collection of articles, personal stories, and poems by fat women, about their lives and the fat-hating society in which they live. Topics include: exposing the myths concerning fat; what it's like to grow up fat; a description of the medical crimes committed against fat women; stories of the daily hassles, verbal and physical harassment in the lives of fat women; inaccessibility to clothing, jobs, and public places for exercise and sports; effects on the emotional, spiritual, and intellectual selves of fat women living in a society that hates them, and how they have learned to survive.”

6. Meditations On The Mother Tongue by An Tran (C&R Press)

“In rich and vivid prose across twelve stories, men and women are displaced from their loved ones, their cultures and their homes, and look to the natural and spiritual worlds in search of anything that can offer a sense of belonging and lasting satisfaction. These are careful meditations on the desire to know one's self and be known by others, where parents and lovers alike appear as gods or as ghosts, dominating and unknowable, and where the bonds between fathers and sons and brothers, men and women, husbands and wives, are built, tested and found lacking.”

7. Kalamkari & Cordillera: Poems of India and Chile by Wanda Campbell (Inanna Publications)

"Inspired by Pablo Neruda, Wanda Campbell's KALAMKARI & CORDILLERA shows a mature writer at her peak. Compassion and tenderness exist alongside the harshest of socio-political commentary, with Campbell’s imagery exquisite throughout, her lines interwoven like the "Patola" or "silk cloth" she writes of, united in "a weft of darkness and a warp of light." Speaking of a "girl child" of Andhra, she writes: "her cradle is a sari/tied to a rafter." Beauty and ugliness; love and loss; freedom and bondage; dichotomies and all of the shades in between colour Campbell's poetic landscape from the India of her childhood to the Chile of Neruda's." - Myna Wallin

8. How Do I Look? by Sennah Yee (Metatron)

"Sennah Yee's HOW DO I LOOK? is a selfie through a webcam in the compact mirror tossed over the shoulder of a nightswimmer into a suburban chlorine pool. These poems are the hit radio lyrics that roll around in the mind before falling asleep, the silently crafted love poems for an unrequited crush written on a blog saved in drafts, the emails sent to one's future self opened at a karaoke bar years later in another country. HOW DO I LOOK? made me look back and get home safe. I look in the rear view mirror to find flowers growing out of me." - Stacey Tran

9. Living the Edges: A Disabled Women's Reader by Diane Driedger, editor (Inanna Publications)

“This collection brings together the diverse voices of women with various disabilities. The women speak frankly about the societal barriers they encounter in their everyday lives due to social attitudes and physical and systemic inaccessibility. They bring to light the discrimination they experience through sexism, because they are women, and through ableism, because they have disabilities. For them, the personal is definitely political. Here, Canadian women discuss their lives in the areas of employment, body image, sexuality and family life, society's attitudes, and physical, sexual and emotional abuse. While society traditionally views having a disability as "weakness" and that women are the "weaker" sex, this collection points to the strength, persistence, and resilience of disabled women living the edges.”

10. Instructions Within by Ashraf Fayadh (The Operating System)

"Palestinian poet, artist and cultural activist Ashraf Fayadh reminds us, through his life and work, that blasphemy (for which he has been sentenced to 8 years in prison and 800 lashes) is still a crime in Saudi Arabia, but also that poetry is powerful against the criminal madness of a deranged state: '...these pages have exhausted all languages known to earth / ...to offer a name that matches your definition of self / your name-like an inkwell pregnant with possibilities.' The Operating System does us an extraordinary service by making this magnificent poet's voice available. Read Fayadh to understand what we are fighting against, and for!" - Margaret Randall

11. Bearing the Mask: Southwestern Persona Poems by Scott Wiggerman and Cindy Huyser, eds. (Dos Gatos Press)

"A unique glimpse at a special region known to some as borderlands, this anthology of persona poems gives articulate voice to the many peoples and periods that have made their mark on this scarred and sacred land of deserts and rivers, Indian petroglyphs and fifty-foot marionettes, haciendas and Air Force bases, this ground so varied in climate and culture but so unified in spirit. The spirit of this terra incognita fits its original definition as 'unknown territory,' for unknown also implies undefined and therefore unbound, open to interpretation. The reach of these voices is both global and personal. From Years Following Her Death, Former Texas Slave Silvia King Speaks to a Kidnapped Nigerian Girl to Chester Nez Arriving at Guadalcanal, 1942, these are human voices in all their honesty and depth of caring." - Carmen Tafolla
