Inspired by the examples of other queer women of color who were writing
collectively, *Ching-In Chen & Tamiko Beyer’s *collaboration is an attempt
to practice a decolonial poetics.  We began by reading/thinking about the
work of certain poetic ancestors, including Larissa Lai, Larissa Lai, Rita
Wong, Cathy Park Hong*,* Eric Gamalinda, Haas Mroue, Judy Tzu-Chun Wu writing
about the physician Margaret Chung, Kristin Naca, Pepón Osorio, Romel
Joseph&June Jordan,
writing two different poem*-*strands by exchanging work via e-mail and then
using a collaborative revising process where we wove our words
together.  *Ching-In
Chen is an MFA student in the Creative Writing program at UC Riverside and
the author of *The Heart’s Traffic*.  Tamiko Beyer is the poetry
editor of *Drunken
Boat*.  They are both Kundiman Fellows*
