Rooted in the experience of living in America as a queer undocumented Filipino, Documents maps the byzantine journey toward citizenship through legal records and fragmented recollections. In poems that repurpose the forms and procedures central to an immigrant’s experiences—birth certificates, identification cards, letters, and interviews—Jan-Henry Gray reveals the narrative limits of legal documentation while simultaneously embracing the intersections of identity, desire, heritage, love, and a new imagining of freedom. HOT TOPICS: Immigration, LGBT identity, human rights. Gray’s writing on identity as a queer undocumented immigrant of color adds a Filipino perspective to the ongoing conversation between poets like Chen Chen, Marcelo Hernandez Castillo, Danez Smith, Ocean Vuong, and others.
