Autobiography of DeathKim Hyesoon (trans. Don Mee Choi) The title section of Kim Hyesoon's powerful book, Autobiography of Death, consists of forty nine poems, each poem representing a single day during which the spirit roams after death before it enters the cycle of reincarnation. The poems not only give voice to those who met unjust deaths during Korea's violent contemporary history, but also unveil what Kim calls "the structure of death, that we remain living in."

Amy De'Ath turns poetry into a hot

this playful bricolage explores the norms of the workplace and its notions of competence

and photographs--the desert’s multiplicity emerges through a ranging exploration of its Japanese American incarceration sites

so I’m tempted to call it a short experimental novel

Eric Selland

author of Bitter English

Throughout these poems of loss

and the newly-completed The 45th Parallel

like her own mind does

The many voices that emerge in these poems—from historic Black personalities

The results are like certain mushrooms fruiting

finding in the play of dissatisfaction and endurance a prompt for new poetry
