The Sick World of Kim Hyesoon

by Christine Shan Shan Hou April 13, 2014April 16, 2014

The body is a sick place. Its reality is viscera. Kim Hyesoon’s poems are composed of these unsightly and unpleasant viscera. They squirm, blind and deaf like newborn puppies, then grow up and live in a dog-eat-dog world. This world is called Sorrowtoothpaste Mirrorcream.

They cheer each other on throughout the warm-up. Their bodies are strong, their energy joyfully palpable.
