But the personal dimension of Eng’s commentary is further complicated by acknowledgements of her mother’s socioeconomic and gendered vulnerability: for example, in “the places we come from/0,” she recounts her mother being “‘in trouble’…nineteen and unmarried and pregnant with me,” and explains in the poem “the crazy things my mother told me when I was a kid” that “my mom was an orphan, was adopted, so that’s the place she’s coming from”-another complex origin story within Eng’s complex origin story.Įng’s ambivalent inheritance from her white relatives is mirrored in her relationship as a settler who is “often misread as an Indigenous person” (“I got the yt supremacy blues”) to her hometown’s colonial romanticization of the Indigenous roots they overwrote. But Eng’s identity is shaped not only through inheritances from both sides of her family: it also emerges through alienation affected most strongly by her white mother, grandmother, and ancestors.Įng owns and challenges the hegemonic histories of both the white side of her lineage and her hometown of Medicine Hat: she centres her mother’s perspective and a colonial perspective of her hometown, narrating from the margin to point out the inadequacies in the traditionally authoritative sources of mother and white male author. For example, “rice” is a poem about Eng’s father’s mother, and “potatoes” is about her mother’s mother. Poem titles like “how my yt settler mama met my Chinese immigrant dad,” “yt prairie mamas and five generations of Ellens,” and “the places we come from” clearly mark the collection as an origin story, or rather, an origins story, drawing from both sides of a mixed-race family. The strongest sense of authority among all these knowledges comes from the unspoken memories of childhood: in poems such as “race according to my yt mama,” an adult Eng restores the child’s narrative by drawing attention to what her mother was not seeing in their offhand exchanges about race. She ravenously forages knowledge from family hearsay, childhood memories, Wikipedia, a colonial history of Medicine Hat written for Canada’s centennial, and observations of family members, friends, celebrities, and craft-brewery bros. In my yt mama, Mercedes Eng emphasizes mythologization’s long history as a colonial tool, and turns its destabilizing logic onto her own personal origin story as the “non-yt” daughter of a “yt mama” born in Medicine Hat.
