OSSIA Stanislava Dikova

OSSIA Stanislava DikovaIn this extraordinary, passionate debut poetry collection, Jimin Seo takes up a material we think we recognize language and transforms it through permutation, history, and translation into a lyrical and alien terrain. Seo takes up both Korean and English, drawing them across multiple experiences of relation none of them equivalence. Translation and re translation triangulate to form the ghostly third other which defines every relationship of two.
