Copy of Unbearable Splendor –by Sun Yung Shin
WHO IS GUEST, AND WHO IS HOST? ADOPTION, ANTIGONE, ZOMBIES, CLONES, AND MINOTAURS—ALL BUILDING BLOCKS, FORMING AND REFORMING OUR IDEAS. Poetry as essay, as a way of hovering over the uncanny, sci-fi orientalism, Antigone, cyborgs, Borges, disobedience. Sun Yung Shin moves ideas around like building blocks, forming and reforming new constructions of what it means to be guest, to be host. How to be at home.
