in the lounge NYC Book Release: quiet of chorus Vanessa Huang & UpSet Press
About This Show
Celebrate quiet of chorus, Vanessa Huang’s debut poetry collection from UpSet Press!
“Vanessa Huang serves as a multi-tongued conductor, beating out stories in the words of the lost, giving voice to the earth, to the dead, occupied, imprisoned and to the invisible. She channels memories that already imbedded in the earth and calls up the supernatural to remind us of our many histories.” —ELMAZ ABINADER
‘Palestina es como el mar’ and so is language the sea: chiding us, chasing us, and contesting our poetics of innocence and our ‘relentless alphabet of the blameless.’” —CHERYL CLARKE
about the artist
Vanessa Huang is a multimedia poet whose practice inherits teachings from the prison abolition, gender liberation, and intersecting social justice movements. For over 15 years, Vanessa has worked to shift cultural narratives based in fear, violence, and exploitation towards realities centering love, vision, and transformation. Vanessa’s interdisciplinary work has conversed through community organizing, printmaking, rallies, film, choreography, sonic performance, letters to/from prison, and a range of journals and anthologies.
