Myung Mi Kim's book is intimidatingly sparse. Her stanza's are small and often pages only featured four lines and blank pages between stanzas and poems. The text contains compelling juxtapositions and some truly beautiful language. However, I had a hard time finding a rhythm and finding connective tissue throughout many of the poems. It was at times obtuse but I had an overall positive impression of the work.
