All About Our Futures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PANK Books, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Weaving between generations and geographies, all our futures<\/em> asks what it means to make a life in the face of climate and political crisis\u2014 how to let go of the shame that tells us we do not deserve to imagine a future we want, a future we belong in. Ultimately, all our futures<\/em> says, home is a place we make. Though nothing is guaranteed \u2014 not time, not hope \u2014 Chan imagines a place beyond climate and political apocalypse (difficult, yes; abundant, yes) where queer, disabled people are needed, valued, loved. This is a book for artists and healers and organizers, and everyone who gives their breath and heart to the hard work, the heartwork, of movement-building.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Impact Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

[Kingston, ON]: Brick Books, 2024.
forthcoming<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Borrowing and disrupting the forms of patient records, psychiatric assessments, and court documents, Jody Chan\u2019s impact statement<\/em> traces a history of psychiatric institutions within a settler colonial state. These poems bring the reader into the present moment of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual<\/em>, capitalism and \u201cmoney models of madness,\u201d and \u201cwellness\u201d checks. Forming a ghost chorus, they sing an impact statement on migration and intergenerational trauma, gentrification, and police neglect of racialized violence against queer communities in Toronto\u2014and how the \u201cwrong\u201d kinds of desire, be it across class, race, or gender lines, or towards other worlds, are often punished or disappeared. And yet, these poems also make space for what can take root, despite the impacts\u2014care teams, collective grief rituals, dinners around a table with too many friends to fit. impact statement<\/em> imagines, and re-imagines, and re-imagines again, a queer, disabled, abolitionist revolution towards our communal flourishing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
