Lady No by Kim Hyesoon, proems following one of our major poets through Aerok, Korea’s mirror image, where Lady No faces national tragedy and historical trauma with sardonic wit, surrealist humor & deep empathy for the voiceless. Preorder now. Out 4/14 from @eccobooks.bsky.social.

For #smallpoemsunday and @tomsnarsky.bsky.social a new poem for 2026 – 'Even after grace'. Thank you so much for reading 🩶 #poetrycommunity #WritingCommunity
Year of the Red Fire Horse. I’m reminded of a poem by Jeongrye Choi about a legendary warrior who cuts off the head of the horse that always carried him to his lover’s house, believing this act will allow him to fulfill his destiny. The poem, however, takes a different view.
Just finished the first full English draft of Kim Hyesoon’s poetry collection, working title: Dear Mister Manager of Calendar Factory. The title poem writes straight to an invisible “mister manager” who seems to oversee time. (1/6)
So proud I could burst. Two luminous Korean poetry books in English, both by my former ALTA Emerging Translator mentees 💫 Jein Han’s Phantom Limbs (Lee Min-ha) 💫 Archana Madhavan’s PIROWA PADOWA (Lee Jenny) #translation #koreanpoetry #ALTA #LTIKorea
Just got home to find the advance galleys of Kim Hyesoob’s Lady No waiting on my doorstep. Artwork by Fi Jae Lee, translation by me. Coming from Ecco in April 2026. Grateful to the poet, the artist, and the best editor ever, Deborah Ghim. ❤️✨💫
