by Suri Chan (Author)

In But I Don't Feel Empowered, poet and artist Suri Chan harnesses the power of beautiful language and whimsical illustrations to speak about the lighthearted as well as the heartbreaking experiences that bind us.

But I Don't Feel Empowered is Suri Chan's debut collection of honest, free-verse and whimsically illustrated poems. She explores themes of heartbreak, womanhood, and trauma from the lens of a queer Asian woman coming of age.

This collection is earnest in its belief that healing is about accepting your emotions as they are. And in a world that asks you to be empowered at all times, it asks you to just be.

Deeply moving and thought-provoking, But I Don't Feel Empowered solidifies Suri as an artist to watch and a voice to root for.

Author Biography

Suri Chan - known for the popular Instagram account @poemsbysuri - is a prize-winning poet. She speaks to women, the queer Asian community, and anyone with big feelings.

Suri is a migrant from a long line of migrants. Her work is inspired by her ancestors - the ones who created food that tasted like home with the herbs of their new land. Their ingredients were simple: nuts, shredded veggies, sweet sauce. But the resulting meal was always grand.

Suri likes to think she does the same with everyday words.
