Witness Back at Me is personal dissection that draws on the author¿s childhood episodes of disembodiment, when, through the death of his mother from cancer at age two, he lost his ability to speak for nearly two years, which is also the time when he was placed in a foster home at a dairy farm outside Calgary, from age two to four. During this time, the author recalls not inhabiting his own body, but often floating outside it and witnessing himself as ¿other.¿

Autorenporträt
Finalist for the 2008 Governor General¿s Award for his second book of poetry, Noise From the Laundry, Weyman Chan divides his time between writing, family, electron micrographs, and nonsequitor fluxes in spacetime, brought on by insomniä Skittles! As poetry editor of Calgary¿s experimental literary magazine, fillingStation, he¿s convinced that alien intelligence has already nested in every branch of our language tree. His fifth poetry book, Human Tissue¿a primer for Not Knowing, examines rage and the quest for origin. His chapbook, Isobars, was published in 2017 as a part of the Loft-on-Eighth Press series, ¿Inner City Stories.¿
