It' s the end of the world and Chris Tse has lost his chill. In Super Model Minority he completes a loose trilogy of books - from the historical racism of How to be Dead in a Year of Snakes to a queer coming of age in HE' S SO MASC - by looking to a future where ' it' s enough to look up at a sky blushing red and see possibility' . From making boys cry with the power of poetry to hitting back against microaggressions and sucker punches, these irreverent and tender poems dive head first into race and sexuality with rage and wit, while embracing everyday moments of joy to fortify the soul. Super Model Minority is a riotous walk through the highs and lows of modern life with one of New Zealand' s most audacious contemporary poets.
' Super Model Minority is tender and electric, full of quiet intimacy and soaring elegy. In these shapeshifting poems, Tse confronts joy, pain, prejudice, whiteness. His poems transform and shimmer in full colour, calling back and forth to each other through the book like a pop song' s echoing refrain. ' - Nina Mingya Powles
Chris Tse was born and raised in Lower Hutt. He studied English literature and film at Victoria University of Wellington, where he also completed an MA in Creative Writing at the International Institute of Modern Letters. Tse was one of three poets featured in AUP New Poets 4 (2011), and his work has appeared in publications in New Zealand and overseas.

He is co-editor of AUP' s Out Here: An Anthology of Takatapui and LGBTQIA+ Writers from Aotearoa, published in 2021.
