\u201cOne of the sheer brilliances of Kwan\u2019s book is turning migration into a love poem and love into a migration. Don\u2019t even try to separate the political from the personal; there are too many transient rooms in the heart, unregistered hearts in any given room. And, of course, there\u2019s the border \u2013 of desire, home, identity \u2013 where all the action happens: \u2018the convergence of lives, motivations \/ riding shotgun,\u2019 as Kwan puts it, or rather wrenches it from our very hearts.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In poet Grace Kwan\u2019s debut, they are ruthless and nimble, guiding us through the recesses of body and roadside space. The reader tours the motel through this multiverse narrative, from amenities to rooms to back alleys, through the generations of ghosts and queer love stories, until they are left alone with the heart at the centre. The Sacred Heart Motel<\/em> is a disorienting, startling collection about placelessness and longing.<\/p>\n

Kyla Jamieson<\/strong> (she\/her) is the author of Body Count <\/i>(Nightwood Editions, 2020), which was shortlisted for the Pat Lowther Memorial Award, named a CBC Best Poetry Book of 2020, and awarded third place in the Metatron Prize for Rising Authors by CA Conrad and Anne Boyer.
