"Vi Khi Nao is the author of a novel, Fish in Exile (Coffee House Press), and two poetry collections: The Old Philosopher (Nightboat Books) and Umbilical Hospital (1913 Press). Vi's work includes poetry, fiction, film, and cross-genre collaboration. She was the winner of the 2014 Nightboat Poetry Prize and the 2016 Ronald Sukenick Innovative Fiction Contest."--Publisher's website.

"A woman uses the keys of a dismantled, antique typewriter to write a manuscript. She makes little progress and is able to generate only three letters of the manuscript. The letters are t, h, e, which is the entire word for an article. The Proscenium is a satire on production and feminism and acts as an antithetical or opposition to male's prolixity on the canvas of literary canon."--Publisher's website.
