The World's Lightest Motorcycle

Omtale

A successor to Korean feminist poets like Kim Hyesoon, Yi Won frequently writes about the perilousness of maintaining ones human identity in a high-tech, digital environment. In this debut book in English, her poems range from avant-garde prose poems to more lyrical, if dark, free verse, as she examines isolation, death, and the passage of time and in the process, upends polite society and Korean literary culture.
