In Jane Shi’s echolalia echolalia, commitment and comedy work together to critique ongoing inequities, dehumanizing ideologies, and the body politic. Here are playful and transformative narratives of friendship and estrangement, survival and self-forgiveness. Writing against inherited violence and scarcity-producing colonial projects, Shi expresses a deep belief in one’s chosen family, love and justice.
Jane Shi is a poet who lives on the occupied, stolen, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations. Her writing has appeared in The Offing, Room Magazine, and Canthius Magazine among others.
“In this electric, eclectic collection, Jane Shi weaves, ducks, swerves, and composes poems like an acrobat swinging across the distance of time. The book is a virtuosic feat in bending away from, twirling, curling, unfurling from the left margin with lines that electrify. Shi is a poet unlike anyone else, and I welcome any extended stay in their worlds.”
