Description

A wide-ranging collection from a rising poet that showcases her sharp, contemporary voice

In Stem, Stella Wong intersperses lyric poems on a variety of subjects with dramatic monologues that imagine the perspectives of specific female composers, musicians, and visual artists, including Johanna Beyer, Mira Calix, Clara Rockmore, Maryanne Amacher, and Delia Derbyshire. In such lines as "let me tell you how I make myself appear / more likeable," "as I grow older I like looking at chaos," and "I want to propose a hike / and also propose mostly," Wong's style is confident and idiomatic, and by turns contemplative and carefree. Whether writing about family, intimate relationships, language, or women's experience, Wong creates a world alive with observation and provocation, capturing the essence and the problems of life with others.
