Description
Book SynopsisWhether suturing NoHae Park and Pablo Neruda together in a cinematic sweep or refusing the global economy's demands to rush and sign over one's literary life, Jin's portraiture is time illuminated by an intelligence committed to "how strange questions, fountains of brilliant blood, gush unceasingly in the boundless desert of answers."
Trade Review“Eun Young Jin's We, Day by Day turns the hourglass over and over in sensuous, startling poems that ravish the senses with the swirl and torque of their image-drenched surfaces. Whether suturing NoHae Park and Pablo Neruda together in a cinematic sweep or refusing the global economy's demands to rush and sign over one's literary life, Jin's portraiture is time illuminated by an intelligence committed to "how strange questions, fountains of brilliant blood, gush unceasingly in the boundless desert of answers." Attentive to this good strangeness, Young Shil Ji and Daniel T. Parker's taunt translation effortlessly renders Jin's deep song with clear and urgent resonance.” —Jennifer Kwan Dobbs, author of Interrogation Room
