In Truong Tran's poetry, what is said and what is written reveal our complexities. Composed as an investigation of his own being and body as a brown person moving through white spaces, this collection moves alongside Tran's friend and collaborator Damon Potter. \u003ci\u003eSeeing and Looking\u003c\/i\u003e offers a record of Potter's perspective as a white man examining who he is and wants to be and the complications of trying to be good while also benefiting from histories of oppression. Potter considers death--both his own future death and the deaths of his friends--while grappling with how to witness horrors, wonders, and his self. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDamon Potter\u003c\/b\u003e is coauthor of \u003ci\u003e100 Words \u003c\/i\u003ewith Truong Tran.
