Translating Mo'um
Synopsis
Cathy Park Hong's collection, "Translating Mo'um," offers a powerful exploration of language and identity through poetry. Her verses are sharp and insightful, confronting cultural clashes and personal struggles with ruthless honesty. Hong navigates the complexities of Korean and English, presenting a vision where language itself becomes a 'cracked' history and a source of both resentment and self-scrutiny.
