Hyun Kim - Glory Hole - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A ground - breaking new collection of queer poetry from a leading contemporary Korean poet. Kim Hyun's Glory Hole is the first Korean queer poetry collection. Featuring gay teens elders cats caterpillars robots and other unexpected characters Kim's fifty - one eccentric poems trace themes of love sexual desire abandonment destitution and death. In recounting the splendid yet tragic journeys of his speakers Kim defies meaningful sense - making. His poems are a mishmash of dystopian sci - fi and pornography storytelling and poetry fictive references and real figures. They are not embellished with elegant imagery; in fact they are antithetical to it opting instead for incoherent tense unidiomatic expressions and never - ending puns. After all like Lgbtq+ people in many cultures Korean queers live in this site of violence. Bewilderment deliberately is Kim Hyun's form. Glory Hole invites readers into a very queer world.
