At the Asian American Writers’ Workshop blog The Margins, Action Books’s Joyelle McSweeney and Johannes Göransson have collected essays by several writers on Kim Hyesoon’s poetry in Don Mee Choi’s English translation. Here, they may find “a radical looking glass which reorients the world and recasts it in its true black light, a light opposite to capitalism’s, militarism’s, and neocolonialism’s white-lit screens,” writes McSweeney. “Their reactions to Kim Hyesoon’s words are vivid, ethereal, poetry in itself.” Source: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet/2016/06/action-books-curates-folio-of-essays-in-response-to-poetry-of-kim-hyesoon/#.V3GqC7wiSzg.twitter
