Translated by Jennifer Shyue. The title of BI-REY-NATO, Julia Wong Kcomt's sixth poetry collection, is a homonym for virreinato or viceroyalty, but can also be broken down into its component words: bi (bi/two), rey (king), and nato (born). Likewise, the poems in this chapbook play with binaries: in power, love, language, country, identity. The salt in the air of seaside Lima, the setting of the first section, condenses into the salt that trails through the second section, set mostly in Argentina.

Poetry.

She currently lives between Lima and Lisbon.Shyue, Jennifer: - Jennifer Shyue is a translator focusing on contemporary Cuban and Asian-Peruvian writers.
