This debut collection in English from Korean poet Moon Bo Young
insists that you, as a reader, put down your expectations of what
should be important or serious. While these poems are about god,
death, love, and literature, they are also just as much about a hat
with a herd of cows on it, science experiments on monkeys'
attention, the eating of cherry tomatoes, weeping carrots, and
pimple popping. The surrealism and humor in these poems allow them
to travel so far in the span of a stanza. Reading this book is like
going on a picnic with your weirdest best friend and asking them
what-if questions until the sun goes down-there's room for
everything, from dark anecdotes to funny quips and surprising
vulnerability. This book is like that: there's room for everything.
Skillfully rendered by award-winning translator Hedgie Choi, this
is a book that will change the way you think about what a poem can
accomplish.
