Choi's voice has the defiant confidence of youth, which we all need exposure to. The poems are a little bit insulting . . . in the most appealing way, like an argument that actually changes your mind.\"-- \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e, Best Poetry of 2025\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart blasphemous prayer, part stand-up comedy, wholly unique, this breathtaking collection is by turns devastating, funny, and startling. Whether the site of exploration is \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e, Leonard Cohen, roadkill, or etymology, sublime bewilderment rubs shoulders with half-buried humiliations and accidental salvations. The voice in these poems tenderly and tenaciously inquires into how to survive--not how to survive violence but how to survive surviving. Choi is the rare poet who can elicit laughter, sober reflection, and wry bemusement all within the space of a few lines--or sometimes only one. This is a collection that you can read through in a single sitting, then return to again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHedgie Choi is the translator of \u003ci\u003ePillar of Books\u003c\/i\u003e by Moon Bo Young and the cotranslator of \u003ci\u003eHysteria \u003c\/i\u003eby Kim Yideum, which won the Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize and the National Translation Award.
