Author: Perez, Jason Magabo
Jason Magabo Perez’s third collection of poetry, 'I ask about what falls away', is a book-length elegy set in the streets of San Diego during the Covid global health crisis. This book serves as an intimate grief manifesto against the violence of racism and capitalism. Perez utilises a critical and playful assemblage of lyric and litany, narrative and distillation, fragment and refrain in order to map his conception of city, identity and history. At once light-hearted and tenacious, his writing centres working-class peoples with an anti-colonial wisdom reminiscent of writers such as Neferti X.M. Tadiar and Claudia Rankine. As Hari Alluri (The Flayed City) summarizes, 'if this was an album, I’d have it on repeat'.
ISBN 9781885030894. Kaya Press. pb. 124 pages. 20.3 x 13.3 cm.
