In Mix-Mix, Dani Putney excavates facets of their mixed-race heritage using reformulated text from the Asian Romance Guide to Marriage by Correspondence to consider their relationships with their Filipina mother and late white father, problematizing--but also attempting to understand--the circumstances that led to their parents' marriage across two continents via mail correspondence. In addition, the collection puts queerness and non-binary identity into conversation with heritage, invocations of pop-culture icons, reflections on the speaker's daddy issues, and general explorations of queer sexuality. In Mix-Mix Putney seems to ask, Why were we born? How do we live with the circumstances of our birth, both historically and culturally?
