Omschrijving
After reckoning with the dead in the award-winning How to be Dead in a Year of Snakes, Chris Tse turns to issues of identity and how to live today in this powerful second collection.
For a definition of "MASC" read: online dating slang for "masculine". It's the kind of vernacular- and its constraints-played with throughout, sometimes comically and, as in the love poem par excellence, Crying at a disco, sometimes tenderly. - Siobhan Harvey, Weekend Herald
Chris Tse was born and raised in Lower Hutt. He studied English literature and film at Victoria University of Wellington, where he also completed an MA in Creative Writing at the IIML. Tse was one of three poets featured in AUP New Poets 4 (Auckland University Press, 2011) and his work has appeared in publications in New Zealand and overseas. His first collection, How to be Dead in a Year of Snakes (AUP, 2014) won the Jessie Mackay Award for Best First Book of Poetry in 2016.
