**WINNER of the 2022 Four Quartets Prize!** **2022 LAMBDA LITERARY AWARDS FINALIST!** ** ** **Winner of the Nightboat Books Poetry Prize, *Imagine Us, The Swarm* offers seven powerful texts that form a constellation of voices, forms, and approaches to confront loneliness, silence, and death.** Following the death of the poet’s father, *Imagine Us, The Swarm* contemplates vengeance, eschews forgiveness, and cultivates a desire for healing beyond the reaches of this present life. In this collection of essays in verse, Leung reconciles a familial history of violence and generational trauma across intersections of Asian American, queer, and gendered experiences. Moving between the past and the present, Leung imbues memories with something new to alter time and design a different future.
