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.
