She considers what a homeland would be for a divided nation and a divided self: what it means to enter language, the body, the family, the community; to be a daughter, sister, lover, citizen, or exile. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn settings from New York to San Francisco, from Scotland to Seoul, her poems question \"what threads hold \/ our lives together\" in cities and gardens, battlefields and small towns. Across the no-man's-land between every \"you\" and \"I,\" her speakers encounter, quarrel with, or honor others, traveling between the living and the dead, between horror over the disastrous events of the past and hope for the future. Drawing upon a wide range of voices, styles, and perspectives, \u003ci\u003eNotes from the Divided Country\u003c\/i\u003e bears witness to the vanishing world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuji Kwock Kim's poems have appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe Nation, The New Republic, Paris Review, New York Times, Washington Post, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times, \u003c\/i\u003e and on National Public Radio.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50647504486674,"sku":"9780807128732","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/notes-from-the-divided-country-poems-9780807128732","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
