A debut English-language collection from an award-winning contemporary Korean poet.
Lightmesh, Choi Jeongrye’s final book, performs a dislocation of the everyday. In poems that are playful, imaginative, and sometimes surreal, we move through a series of familiar yet uncanny locations, always grounded with Choi’s wit. This book showcases Choi’s style with succinct imagery and descriptions of everyday life in deceptively simple language.
This is an excellent collection of her work. Her poems have emotional depth and also are beautfifully written. Her voice as a poet is exceptional and her work is excellent and emotional.
