Synopsis
A former South Korean dissident, known as 'The Guide,' speaks a fluid, fabricated language while being interviewed by 'the Historian,' who annotates the conversations. Cathy Park Hong's poetic work creates a dialogue on shared global experiences, using language as a tool for both subversion and disguise. This sequence of poems ultimately offers a revitalizing perspective on connection in a complex world.
