Proof of Stake: An Elegy - Charles Valle - Bog

Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Asian &; Asian American Studies. Art. PROOF AT STAKE is a multivalent meditation on loss, grief, and social constructs. Grounded in the death of the poet's daughter, Vivian, this long elegy ruminates on a wide range of subjects, from the effects and winding paths of disruptive technologies, such as paper and cryptocurrency, to critiques and observations of art movements, diasporas, social unrest, and the history of the Philippines.
