Vociferate
Alice Pung says of Vociferate, 'be prepared to be blown away!' while Tracy Ryan says that Emily Sun is 'a genuinely new and distinctive presence in Australian poetry.'
Let's see how we want our story to unfold.'
Vociferate is a collection of poems inpsired by Asian-American feminist writers. Like these writers, Emily resists interpellation into both Eurocentric and patriarchal tropes, as she explores the idea of national and transnational identities and the concept of belonging.
Underpinning the poems is a resistance to Orientalism, and an untangling of what it means to be an Asian-Australian moving through many different geopolitical and social contexts.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
