Here’s an excerpt from my new (prose!) book. It’s from the opening essay, which addresses 兔儿神/the Rabbit God, a queer deity from my home province of Fujian. But really it's a prose poem, an ars poetica, a manifesto. In Cahoots with the Rabbit God is out on Dec. 1. Preorder now: tinyurl.com/4mc6vnjf

DEAR RABBIT GOD,

I don't believe in suffering for one's art. I believe in frolicking for one's art. I believe in eating well for one's art. I believe in farting for one's art. I believe in making beautiful friends for one's art. And making plans with one's friends for one's art, I believe in this utterly. Especially when those friends hold you accountable to making your art, revising your thought, practicing your politics. I believe that my gaysian life is integral to my art and I believe that difference should be embraced, not shunned, not simplified. I believe that poems that love earthly difference alongside or even more than spiritual transcendence are better poems. I believe in falling wildly in love for one's art and for no reason at all. I believe in orgasming for one's art.

Hi y’all—we haven’t used Substack for a minute, and we need to say no to invitations to participate in posts (interviews, features, etc). Leaving this here so folks know why! 📚💙 We love small presses and their authors!

Screenshot from email:

We actually left Substack as a press because of the platform's continued support of white supremacist and anti-Semitic content. (We now use Beehiv, which offered an easy migration of our posts.) So l think we need to say no, as we continue to divest as best we can from platforms whose values don't align with ours. I recognize this is tricky and laborious work!
