a place called no homeland is a solid collection of poetry, and - as always - sublimely, tenderly written by kai cheng thom. the poems delve into trans identity, diasporic cultural ties, relation to whiteness, self-love, some so aching while others insightful and technically impressive.

A beautiful, explicit collection of poems on body, love, and abuse from a transgender, asian-canadian woman's experience. Through gender, race, and sexuality, the collection explores self and belonging, often told through a frame of mythology or folklore. Each poem reads as though the author put her heart and soul into it, and there is no topic she shies away from. A very good debut collection.
