| Summary: | Winner of the 2024 Lexi Rudnitsky Editor's Choice Award and the James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets, All The Words I Can Remember Are Poems challenges colonized ideas of history and truth, particularly in relation to Filipinx/a/o history and its colonization by the United States. Engaging with archival materials and playing with the sounds of remembered words and their unique associations, Michelle Peñaloza confronts violent and ironic tensions within historical narratives, subverting erasure and creating her own cultural fluency that speaks to growing up in diaspora and the complexities of identity, motherhood and the transmission of love across generations. |
