Praise for Let the Moon Wobble:

“Ally Ang is a poet who refuses the deadening distances of capital, borders, and patriarchy, embracing instead the richest, queerest intimacies of uncouth body, kinky breath, and collective revolt. These gorgeous, daring poems say: Let your eyebrows be as close as they want. Become the swine feral with love, the mango ungovernable with sweetness that this heartbreaking world needs. Welcome the moon’s song in your belly, where it has always truly belonged.”
—Chen Chen, author of Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency

“Ally Ang traverses capitalism’s violent landscapes in search of xeranthemums and blackberries. But this is more than a hunt for pretty flowers and tasty fruit. It’s a lifesaving quest to reclaim the stinky, the freaky, and the wild as allies. Let the Moon Wobble is a collection of invitations to forbidden, overlapping territories: pleasure and disgust, engagement and hopelessness, audacity and fear. With unapologetic candor and humor, Ang’s poems carry us toward hardwon intimacy. These are poems as queer fruit: generous, spikey, ravenous, quenching.”
—Shira Erlichman, author of Odes to Lithium

"Ally Ang’s poems are made of houseplants and melatonin, leather and bloodstains, fresh fruit and rumpled bedsheets. They assert queer self-creation on the page in a poetic voice that is at once expansive and precise. Let the Moon Wobble is a striking, impressive first collection.”
