Summary:

"First published in Korean in 2005, Phantom Limbs is Lee Min-ha's debut book of poetry. Critically lauded for its visceral imagery and world-building through word-play, this collection of surreal and fabulistic poems is a reminder that poems are spells and incantations"-- Provided by publisher.
