Transuding • Print + E-book

Summary

Apricots grow in Suncheon, korea, where the author was born. The mountain unfurls bodies. Underneath them, the bedrock leaks saltwater. In Transuding, Yunkyo Moon-Kim seeps across dream states and borders in ecological forms. Constantly transforming, permuting, and mutating, the poems leap toward imagined oneness, toward un-demarcating both nations and gender.

Praise

“I return to Yunkyo Moon-Kim’s Transuding again and again, drawn by the promise of ruin and resuscitation, the blade of the self against the whetstone of remembering. The poems here resist the mitotic impulse of borders, the stultifying boundaries of gender, following instead ‘queer orbits’: they refract, mirror, splinter, then give way.”
        —Donika Kelly, author of The Renunciations
