A lyrical reckoning with the weight of history, identity, and resistance. Through 56 poignant and politically charged poems, Anderson-Wu turns her gaze toward three regions – Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Ukraine – each grappling with the scars of conflict and the struggle for self-definition.

With sharp lyricism and compassionate depth, the collection bears witness to lives caught between remembrance and erasure. Anderson-Wu's verses traverse personal memory and collective trauma, illuminating how the act of naming becomes a form of dignity, and silence itself transforms into resistance. Her poetry does not merely observe; it intervenes – challenging numbness, amplifying voices, and asserting the right to be seen and heard.

In a world where borders shift and histories are contested, Clear My Name stands as a powerful testament to the resilience of those who refuse to be forgotten. It is both a meditation on belonging and a declaration that reclaiming one's name is reclaiming one's story.

This collection was shortlisted for the 2024 Australian Flying Island Poetry Manuscript Contest, a recognition that highlights its literary strength and global relevance.
