BOMB Magazine Interview
On the occasion of the release of A Mouth Holds Many Things, I was so pleased to join in on this conversation for BOMB Magazine with some of the most exciting women experimental writers:
Diana Khoi Nguyen, Quyên Nguyễn-Hoàng, Monica Ong, and Sasha Stiles
Enjoy this story edited by Jason N. Le who convened a roundtable discussion redefining hybridity with contributors to a new anthology by thirty-six women and nonbinary BIPOC writers.
Often, the idea of hybridity connotes the joining of two or more things—a polite marriage by hyphenation or ampersand. Yet this combinatory approach details its own limitations, relying on the merging of pre-determined definitions to describe itself. A new anthology of hybrid-literary works by thirty-six women and nonbinary BIPOC writers titled A Mouth Holds Many Things, co-edited by Dao Strom and Jyothi Natarajan, destabilizes the linguistic expectations of “hybridity” by stretching the act of writing (and reading) not only across modalities of art-making, but also psychic, somatic, and cyber spaces.
