Justin Chin

Justin Chin is the author of Attack of the Man-Eating Lotus Blossoms, a collection of performance art texts, documents, and scripts. He is also the author of two collections of poetry, Harmless Medicine and Bite Hard, and two collections of essays, Burden of Ashes and Mongrel: Essays, Diatribes and Pranks. Chin's writings have also been anthologized widely, most notably in The Outlaw Bible Of American Poetry, American Poetry: The Next Generation, and The World In Us: Lesbian and Gay Poetry of the Next Wave, among others. He lives in San Francisco.

As a performance artist, Justin Chin has created eight full-length solo performance works and several shorter works, which have been presented nationally and abroad. Attack of the Man-Eating Lotus Blossoms is a collection of these performance art texts, along with documents, and scripts, that represent Chin's work from 1993-2001.

Whether playing native, tourist, or other, Chin questions our—as well as his own—assumptions, prejudices, and consumption of cultural beings and commodities. These works explore themes of sexuality, of Asian and of queer bodies, hybrid forms of culture, belonging, and the loss, recovery, and reconstruction of home, homeland, and history. These works are by turns coolly ironic, or bratty and comic, or poignant and mournful, or unbelievably borderline psychotic.
