Ranging from inherited family tales to meditations on the body to animals' display of love and grief alike, Emily Jungmin Yoon holds up a mirror to humanity to show that we are animal, too. In poems full of wonder and want, she showcases our tendencies to fight or fly, act with affection and cruelty, and ultimately, overflow with life itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"And when I say we are beasts, \/ is that a metaphor?\" Yoon asks, exploring how we--like language, like any creature--stem from our surroundings. Braiding together reflections about the natural world, family heritage, and adoration, Yoon shows that what passes between us--body to body, generation to generation--is what defines a life. Deeply felt and beautifully crafted, \u003ci\u003eFind Me as the Creature I Am\u003c\/i\u003e is a rapturous collection by a rising star in the poetry landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEMILY JUNGMIN YOON is the author of \u003ci\u003eOrdinary Misfortunes\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Cruelty Special to Our Species, \u003c\/i\u003e a finalist for the 2020 Kate Tufts Discovery Award.
