In celebration of one year of publishing vital and diverse Asian writing and art, SUSPECT: VOLUME 1, YEAR 1 brings selected works from our online journal into print.
Brimming with voices at once manifold yet singular, SUSPECT: VOLUME 1, YEAR 1 showcases a selection of Asian writers and creators hailing from Canada, China, India, Israel, Malaysia, Singapore, the UK, the US, and elsewhere. The anthology, which celebrates one year of SUSPECT journal's digital publishing, offers new perspectives from emerging literary voices. Boldly, yet always compassionately, these contributors demand of their readers an imagination expansive enough to sprawl borders, formal conventions, diverse subjectivities, and lives recorded from the margins.
Where the anthology foregrounds global perspectives-from translations of poetry documenting Kazakhstan political strife to explorations of transnational Asian American identity-it also lives in the personal, minute, and intimate experiences of daily lives.
