Glacier Lily

By Chungmi Kim

"Chungmi Kim explores the themes of longing and displacement in a culture she sees as both askew--like seeing 'the mountain upside down'--and engaging, as in her title poem, 'Glacier Lily, ' where identity is born not of the purity of nostalgia but of the coloring of age, vibrant and transforming, as are all of the poems in this collection."

--James Ragan

"Chungmi Kim's passion, empathy, and lyric voice bring us diverse communities: from Hollywood to South Central L.A.; from Korea to America. We see what she sees: 'the mountain upside down, ' but the very next moment we are lifted skyward by her words. Chungmi Kim's poems find us again and again, but never in the same way."

--Russell C. Leong
