For decades, Kim Hyesoon--a leading figure in contemporary Korean poetry and trans-national feminist literature--has represented the capabilities of a poet who works across, around, and through the borders of nations and of language itself. Many of her works have been translated, with the overwhelming support from Don Mee Choi, into English. With visceral and surreal imagery, Kim presents us her latest work in translation, POOR LOVE MACHINE, with a rippling array of pain, desire, and light. Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. Women's Studies. Translated from the Korean by Don Mee Choi.
