Here, a body is never a body without stark words,
the musical perversity of wounds. This is not some theater. B.B.P. Hosmillo is the founding co-editor of Queer Southeast Asia: A Literary Journal to be launched late in 2016. Anthologized in Under the Storm: An Anthology of Philippine Contemporary Poetry (2011) and Bettering American Poetry (2016), he is the author of two forthcoming books, The Essential Ruin and Breed Me: a sentence without a subject; the latter of which is translated into Vietnamese and published by Hanoi-based press AJAR. His poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in minor literature[s], SAND: Berlin’s English Literary Journal, Palaver Journal, Quarterly Literary Review Singapore*, and The Margins (Asian American Writers’ Workshop), among others. He is guest poetry editor at Cha: An Asian Literary Journal, a Hong Kong-based literary publication co-founded by Tammy Ho Lai-Ming and Jeff Zroback.
