Poetry, chapbook, 36 pages, from Bottlecap Features. This collection of poems represents a beginning to an end. The author's personal expectations of xemself have often come from growing up in a culture that demands adoptees to be grateful and silent. Bastard of Fog is the author's artistic F-U to legalized human trafficking in the United States and through these poems the author refuses to share about xeir adoption in the expected sticky-sweet consumable way. These poems proudly pivot from the media's regurgitated savior narratives and address the conflicting, confusing, and ever changing role of chaos brought into adoptees' lives due to the inconsistent and despicable ways in which adoption functions in our country.
