In Resemblance, Jonathan Chou weaves together personal and historical narratives to explore his family's relationship to traumatic moments in Taiwan's modern history, including the White Terror and the 228 Incident. Through innovative forms and syntax, Chou creates spaces where new meanings and selves can emerge.
Drawing on archival research and images, Chou critiques the role of photography and visual culture in mediating access to buried histories and generational trauma. This collection longs less for facts than a renewed relationship to loss and longing itself. For readers interested in Taiwanese history, Asian American identity, and the power of poetry to confront the past.
