Poetry, chapbook, 32 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Waveborne is a collection of poems steeped in identity and emergence—within these pages, the body is a malleable vessel, both undefined and redefined by a language immersed in lyricism and resonance. Waveborne explores second-generation immigrant adolescence through a reflective lens, unearthing a deep-rooted desire for kinship and reinvention. Caught in the currents of a world that seeks to define, this chapbook aims to examine what it means to inhabit an inherited body and rise above the tide. Poems from Waveborne interweave scenes tonally influenced by setting: a blazing hot poolside, a darkened, frigid bedroom, the sequestered space inside a car.
