Description

WINNER OF THE 2024 LAMDA LITERARY AWARD FOR LESBIAN POETRY

An autohistoriography of felt time that arises from subversive hearing practices and the emotional prosody of a mother tongue one does not understand but activates in another poetic language.

Comprised of three long poems, Teeter knows experimental forms can be as intimate as mothering; knows we can understand languages we do not speak. From Hearing's intensities of attention, to Ambient Mom's familial Filipino immigrant soundscapes, to Histories's careful scrutiny of the socially-sanctioned narratives and trajectories to which we are meant to aspire, Teeter's lessons in listening reverberate across career retrospectives and heritage languages, colonial histories and domestic intimacies, reattuning us to what we've neglected to notice in our efforts to create a life we can understand.
