Editor Kyoo Lee describes QE3 as an anthology “focusing on the expressive diversity of English in transition." Fifty+ poets, writers, and scholars coming together here show, telegraphically, the various ways in which they creatively engage the world of dynamic ‘Englishing’ and its polyphonic futurity. Queenzenglish, a translingual initiative translating English into English, decolonizes writing and makes the concepts of diversity and pluralism not only legible but palpable. Among the fifty+ perspectives embodied in this dynamic assemblage of poems, prose, performance scores and experimental / theoretical expositions, readers will find various vocal positions, resonances, (trans)nationalities, and genders, each addressing in its own creative and critical ways questions around standards, power, limitations, and aspirations.
Kyoo Lee, “Q,” a transdisciplinary traveler, thinker, reader, writer, and the author of Reading Descartes Otherwise (Fordham UP) and Writing Entanglish (Belladonna*), teaches Philosophy, Gender Studies, and Justice Studies at the City University of New York. A recipient of faculty fellowships from Cambridge University, KIAS, the Mellon Foundation, and the NEH, among others, she publishes and lectures widely in the interwoven fields of the Arts and the Humanities. Throughout her sitespecific philopoetic practices, Professor Lee explores co-generative links between critical theory and creative prose. A member of AICA-USA actively engaged in art critical, editorial, and public-facing fieldwork, she is the faculty leader for mp3: merging poetry, philosophy, performativity at the CUNY Graduate Center, and is part of the new book series initiative, Bloomsbury Studies in Critical Poetics.
