Klappentext
A Child's Seance begins with a Ouija board game played by a brother and sister as they attempt to make contact with their dead mother. Out of their shared grief explodes a big bang of questions about the universe's smeared complexity.
Weyman Chan's far-reaching poetry offers a surreal, astral travelogue that bears the ghost brush of classical Chinese portraiture. Its figures pose against a lived prairie landscape that steels resilience against loss, mental struggles, sexual misfires, and threats of alien abduction. Working across the intimate, the historical, and the cosmic, A Child's Seance validates the human experiment and its chaos, asking what the poem and its syntactical paintbrush can catch of our fleeting, all-too-brief lives. It insists that the worlds we intersect, however messy or unreachable, are still all one.
