An explosive collection of revolutionary poems that make the case that only poetry can save humanity.
Korean poet Pak Jeong-de envisioned Hail, Che as a textual performance that sings and dreams of revolution. In these poems, he invokes the names of more than 200 artists-- writers, musicians, filmmakers, and painters--whom he considers comrades capable of saving humanity. Throughout Hail, Che , he pays exquisite attention to the sounds of life, attuned to the musicality of living and the unspoken poems that present themselves to those who exercise a poet's attention.
Full of reverie and reflection, Hail, Che celebrates the revolutionary humans who write poetry and perform, laboring in love.
