Some Are Always Hungry by Jihyun Yun
5.0
This is one of three books I picked up at a public library in Haslett, Michigan during a short trip to visit family. I'm so glad I found it. (It's also published by the University of Nebraska Press and I'm a sucker for these little personal connections to my own life and history)
As described, this collection is tied together by food. What stands out to me most is the way the author describes women and girls as food - to be feasted on, hunted, devoured, butchered, etc.
I love it and am eager to get my own copy.
Now, men with bayonets.
Tomorrow, dogs. In no version
are they not hunting us.

It's strange to know this world I loved, loves me best dismembered.
