Angry Yellow Woman is the debut poetry collection from Vera Chok. Is Vera a woman, though? And how yellow are they? The anger is real. These playful, searching, and violently sexy pieces expose Vera's immigrant-hobo journey through the landscapes, beds, and bodies of the UK and beyond. They're a record of how-and where-Vera has tried to locate safety and joy. At the ends of the earth, or down Bethnal Green station? This colonised body seems stuck-flat nose pressed up against the window of Tesco, Chinese eyes wide, hungry. Mouth sighing Malay.
