- Summary:
- "This collection builds upon the growing catalogue of new and exciting voices by contemporary Korean poets whose works are being introduced to an English language audience for the first time. The maximalist poems of Hwang Yuwon explode on the page like the piling boxcars of a train carrying bricks. The personal poems of Seo Dae-Kyung introduce us to a dark and humorous dreamscape, where everything might be possible, and yet are tragically tied down by the human condition. And the lyri poems of Ha Jaeyoun progress gently, tiptoeing down the circling paths of a philosophical landscape marked by narrative breakdowns, miscommunication, and play. The range of styles and content in this book is exemplary of the unbound heterogeneity of Korean poetry being written at this moment." -- Back cover.
