" These] accumulated poems are] a smoldering tragedy, a heady
descent, songs from a pit where what glints may be gems or the moon
off snake scales."--Douglas Kearney
Sun Yung Shin's poems animate the elements of the epic poem and
Korean history across a dystopian dreamscape of fairy tale and
folklore. Filled with pithy observations and striking lyrics, this
collection explores alienation, moral isolation, and
nationhood.
Sun Yung Shin is the author of "Skirt Full of Black," which won
the 2008 Asian American Literary Award for poetry, and the
children's book "Cooper's Lesson," and is the co-editor of
"Outsiders Within: Writing on Transracial Adoption." Raised in
Chicago, Illinois, Shin currently lives near Minneapolis,
Minnesota, and frequently returns to Korea.
