In the long-form science-fiction poem, In Short, Future Now, Jason Wee, an artist, and writer, paints a picture of Asia as a place of flooded ruins, mobile islands, and a period of self-reflection and repair. Wee takes inspiration from renga and haiku forms and posits in this volume how one can break free from the vicious cycle of power struggle set against a backdrop of post-authoritarian and post-climate-disaster Asian islands. In his poem sequence, Asia appears as an archive of the future, which is always on the brink of its coming.
