an attempt to make Dictee (1982) by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha more legible and accessible to readers who are blind and vision impaired
What follows is not exactly a review. It’s an attempt to make
Dictee (1982) by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha more legible and accessible to readers who are blind and vision impaired.
I’ve been composing image descriptions of the visual images in Dictee.
I’m sharing the IDs here in case others might find them helpful.
In writing these IDs, I’ve tried to preserve the “captionlessness” of the original. The Read more of this blog post »

“Originally the sonnet was a site of sexual violence. Male poets were rewarded for celebrating the women they hunted. They used the sonnet form and an instrument called the ‘blazon’ to convert their prey into exquisite English artifacts. Our anthologies still include holograms of jewel-like eyes, porcelain skin, ruby lips, hair like gold, and so on.”

“Language spoken by parents to each other: fluent Korean. I grew up hearing marriage as a foreign language—literally and figuratively. I grew up hearing the sound of Korean as a language of Korean-bound han syndrome, disappointment, fury, resignation, the sense of being trapped forever, resentment, guilt. Every other word: a door slammed.”

“A LITTLE SONG AND A RECEIPT.
Doe: a deer, a female deer—
Often chased by sonneteers of old.
Caught, and killed, and bathed in fear,
turned to human blazons to be sold—
Eyes—$twin models of the stars.
Skin—$fine tissue wrought from gold.
Lips—$your favorite kind of flower.
Sex—$a secret still untold/ a Silk Road to unfold/ a thing for you to mold/ a source by you controlled.
Total: $—————.—”
