Abstract:
This poem is about a young queer Asian woman's trauma, recalling a previous male partner who pressured her into having his children.
This triple sonnet is about the speaker's queerness, from her afternoon fantasies to her earliest sapphic memories from college. It's filled with popular culture references from Batman to James Bond to Drew Barrymore.
