Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"As a whole [these poems] showcase a singular creative mastery. With as little interference as possible, the translators facilitated a smooth transition from Korean to English, maintaining the richness of the original. The point and the goal of the pieces that make up
Glory Hole is to invite the impenetrable and the subversive into the light." * Foreword *
"
Glory Hole is a vibrantly colorful collection that transcribes (and translates) the strangeness of the world and the queer experience into words." * International Examiner *
