Her first child, GAZE BACK (Ethos Books, 2018; Singapore Literature Prize, 2020) is the lesbo trans-genre grimoire you never knew you needed. Shawn Hoo Shawn is the author of the chapbook Of the Florids (Diode Editions, 2022). He is Translation Tuesdays Editor at Asymptote. Shawn’s poems can be found in New Delta Review, Quarterly Literary Review Singapore, Queer Southeast Asia, Voice & Verse Poetry Magazine, and his translation of Lao She in the Journal of Practice, Research and Tangential Activities (PR&TA). ila ila (@ilailailailaila_)’s research centres on peripheral narratives surrounding identity, space and histories that lie hidden, particularly kinship with the land and sea.
