Abstract
This article examines how Asian diasporic Vancouverite poetry explores the implications of living in an Asian North American city that has yet to come to terms with the genealogies of its lands and communities, and its contemporary role as a prototype of capitalist urbanism. Through a brief examination of the socioeconomic history of the city alongside a close reading of the poetics of Japanese-Canadian poet Sachiko Murakami's collection Rebuild (2011), I argue that literary innovation is a crucial lens through which to view capitalist spaces of intentional abstraction and repetition, and the ever-growing glass and steel constructions of Vancouver's globalized cityscape. Rebuild interrogates what it means to inhabit a city that has been thoroughly and repeatedly transformed by transnational capital. In much of the collection, Murakami's own half-Japanese heritage and her awareness of the "colonized" nature of Vancouver are placed in dialogue with the hypermodern architectural construction of condominiums, and the unabashedly capitalist property market.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
