The Sacred Heart Motel | Grace Kwan

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

The Sacred Heart Motel is a map for lapses in time, for the air between the dust. Poems in a multiverse narrative bring the reader on a tour of the motel, from amenities to rooms to back alleys, through the generations of ghosts and queer love stories, until they are left alone with the heart at the centre of the narrative. Music forms the rungs of this manuscript, from nighttime quiet to an orchestral intermission to a crescendo of exposed interiors. New poet Grace Kwan is ruthless and nimble, guiding us through the recesses of body and roadside space.

The Sacred Heart Motel | Grace Kwan

pick

A surreal, cerebral, and lush collection. Using an unusual overarching conceit, Kwan‘s poetry debut fully commits, taking readers on a tour of motel‘s rooms, bar, back alleys, fire escape. It also investigates ghosts. The poems explore migration and placelessness, queer love and desire, music, and family. “That summer the knife slid so sweetly / into the navel orange on the chopping board / and our lips were so sticky / we kissed and they bled.”
