Myung Mi Kim's "Commons "weighs on the most sensitive of scales the
minute grains of daily life in both peace and war, registering as
very few works of literature have done our common burden of being
subject to history. Abstracting colonization, war, immigration,
disease, and first-language loss until only sparse phrases remain,
Kim takes on the anguish and displacement of those whose lives are
embedded in history.
Poetry. Asian American Studies. In PENURY, Myung Mi Kim probes sanctioned norms of cognition by breaking communication into its most discrete components. With these irruptions and suspensions, she writes into extremes of forced loss, violence, and impoverishment. Exposing latent relations in sound and sense, Kim proposes how new ethical awareness can be encountered where the word and its meaning/s are formed. Here, language is not offered as transparent communication of ideas, but as testament to and disruption of oppressive dominant concepts and cultural practices. "Penury" means poverty, but in this text's radical relation to lack, we hear the most elemental and active forms of change.
