Description
by Kaya Ortiz (Author)
Winner of the 2024 Dorothy Hewett Award
Time. Memory. Mirror. Past & Parallel Lives is a rippling reflection on being alien, queer, and other. These poems yearn for home and belonging after migration, religion, and coming out. Kaya Ortiz's award-winning debut shines with authenticity - this is a courageous departure from a past life, towards a queer future and a poetic return to self.
"A gentle and powerful urge to believe in a world where becoming is just as beautiful as arriving." Madison Godfrey
"Brimming with incantatory power, Past & Parallel Lives is a luminous contribution to queer Filipino poetics." Eunice Andrada
"This collection is a marvel, a miracle. By leaning into the past, Ortiz propels us into a future radiant with queer joy. This book is essential and a must-read." Scott-Patrick Mitchell
