Sky Ladders

By Ethan Chua

Ethan Chua's Sky Ladders - a collection of multilingual poems and translations dedicated to those who passed away in the tragic anti-Asian shootings in Atlanta, 2021 - is an extended eulogy, a journey to the underworld, and a translingual sequence of dreams. Sky Ladders introduces a clear new voice that navigates the complex interstices of reportage, memory, and personal expression. Chua slows down time and conjures up the lingering specters of historical and racialized violence, while also honoring grief's obverse companion: the horizon-possibility of joy.
