Monkey Was Here, a new chapbook by English Graduate Student Jasmine An, is a signature across the landscape, invoking the Monkey King to scrawl together the modern and myth, walking through family, gender, sexuality, family, race, and transformation. From a plea to power, this investigation of identity and presentation grows into itself, reclaiming silence, opening every door to see/to show what’s inside “with my own bare hands.”
