Synopsis
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., Although Moon Bo Young is one of the youngest and most exciting writers in South Korea, she has had little work translated and publicjed in the United States. "Pillar of Books" won the highlight prestigeous "Kim Soo-young Literary Award" in South Korea, and now American readers will have an opportunity to discover the cutting edge of contemporary Korean poetry.
