Rough, and Savage

By Sun Yung Shin

Book Overview

Spirited and restlessly imaginative, Shin's poems weave a lyrical collage of ancient fragments, fairytale, and both Korean and American history.

These poems animate the elements of the epic poem and Korean history across a dystopian dreamscape of fairytale and folklore. Filled with pithy observations and striking lyrics, this collection explores alienation, moral isolation, and nationhood.

Rough, and Savage is a lyrical collage of ancient fragments, fairytale, and both Korean and American history that is as daring as it is restlessly imaginative.
