Abstract

The following sequence of poem chronicles the evolution of a cross-cultural queer relationship. Written from a queer Chinese perspective, these poems explore the role of cultural and personality differences in mediating queer intimacy, as well as the (de-)territorialisation of queer desire by family and kinship as well as the intersectionality of racial, ethnic and cultural identities.
