This might be the most ambitious poem-project I've ever heard of and/or read, and it totally works. Also, I read this right around the first time I went to Vegas, so it all made perfect sense.

Hong's poetry tests the boundaries of English, of poetry itself when she plays with this pidgin English. In the tension between the Historian and the Guide she teases us, asking us to think critically about what is kept and what is left behind in history, the lives that are extinguished between history's paper-thin pages.

Hmm! I don't know if I didn't fully get it, or if what I got was all there was to get. Might reread sometime

This story has such a cool concept, and the execution was surprisingly not too difficult to comprehend. It was also the perfect length - I think I would’ve lost interest if it was any longer.
Graphic: Police brutality
