<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Wear poetry as both perfume and armor."</b> <p/> In <i>Turning to Wallpaper</i>, lush, elegant language contrasts with the disturbing and at times gruesome imagery to create a collection that knows exactly how to haunt the reader. Wong's words and artistry are vibrant with color, richly textured, defiant, and unapologetic in their boldness. Her speaker undertakes a spiritual journey of remembrance that transcends body, tradition, and even nation in the pursuit of authentic art--art that is constructed using radical acceptance of the past as a means to leave it all behind. <p/> This is a story where no wounds are softened or left unconfronted. <p/> Unconcerned with conventional beauty, it is undeniably beautiful.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Heidi Wong is a poet and artist who grew up between Beijing, Hong Kong, and New York. <p/> While specializing in expressionistic oil painting and hyper-realistic digital art, Heidi's poetry is equally packed with intensity and boldness. Since posting her work on social media at 15 years old, she has developed a unique voice composed of the stark juxtaposition between surreal and macabre imagery with intimate and beautiful language. <p/> Her third collection, <i><b>Turning to Wallpaper</b></i>, focuses on the idea of transcendence--transcending the silenced and demonized female body, conceptions of femininity and masculinity, tradition, and even nation in order to ultimately reconcile with and escape one's past. <p/> Keep up with her at <b>@itsheidiwong</b>
