“As a Filipino-American conscious of his multiple identities and
the trove of experiences and external forces that shaped him, Gray
uses the unfettered landscape of poetry to release himself and
others from the limitations that aggrieve undocumented
immigrants.” —New City Lit Rooted in the experience of living
in America as a queer undocumented Filipino, Documents maps the
byzantine journey toward citizenship through legal records and
fragmented recollections. In poems that repurpose the forms and
procedures central to an immigrant’s experiences—birth
certificates, identification cards, letters, and
interviews—Jan-Henry Gray reveals the narrative limits of legal
documentation while simultaneously embracing the intersections of
identity, desire, heritage, love, and a new imagining of freedom.
