Answers
Answer:
KM: Can you talk more about the relation between speechless or mute bodies and the condition of displacement?
RM: In my late teens, when I started trying to make sense of the internment from the perspective of JCs, I was disheartened by what seemed to me the absence of a subjective history. Where were the voices of those speaking back to the injustices, challenging the government’s imposition of race-based categories? Of course, as my later research would teach me, there were voices of protest, but these were suppressed, or if not suppressed, contained, by government regulations and the machinations of the administrators who controlled JC responses to the mass uprooting. The silent JC figures in the dominant portrayals of internment came to signify for me the state of speechlessness that resulted from what I felt was an exile from the west coast of BC.
KM: In your poetic work, how does displacement, or rather, the alienation from place and voicelessness work?
RM: Instead of feeling comfortable writing poems about my attachment to place—a common concern of Canadian poets in the 60s and 70s—I felt stymied, if this is the right word, as if I was tongue-tied, and this had to do with my relationship to the English language. JCs of my parent’s generation were bilingual, but the English language was seen as the medium of power—the power to disenfranchise and dispossess them, the power to define them as “enemy alien” and intern them, and the power to impose boundaries on their social and political aspirations. Where, then, was a place for a creative voice in this language? For anyone interested in writing poems, this kind of question opens up the challenges of form, positioning, and process
