| Summary: | Shaped around moments of puncture and release, The Rupture Tense registers what leaks across the breached borders between past and future, background and foreground, silence and utterance. In polyphonic and formally restless sequences, Jenny Xie cracks open reverberant, vexed experiences of diasporic homecoming, intergenerational memory transfer, state-enforced amnesia, public secrecies and the psychic fallout of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Across these poems, memory, historical, collective, personal, stains and erodes. Xie voices what remains irreducible in our complex entanglements with familial ties, language, capitalism and the histories in which we find ourselves lodged. |
