Of Sianne Ngai's debut chapbook of poetry, she wrote: "The logics of ownership and possession are used in the world not only to authorize my bank account and rental agreement, but my authority to speak or write. (It is said that the mad have "lost possession" of themselves). This is what the poem disavows and resists. Hence 'discredit': lack of credit in the financial sense, and lack of credibility, authorial authority, the 'personal voice.' Also loss of reputation, disgrace. Doubt. The refusal to accept something as true or accurate. To cause disbelief in the authority of something."
