Ink: Poetry and Prose

Ink: Poetry and Prose is a book of autobiographical poems and essays. It contains the linguistic, cultural, and social history of the author. The poems are composed in a variety of traditional and nontraditional forms. Some of the poems contain Korean characters and phonetic hangul, as Korean was the first language of the poet and essayist. The essays are brief meditations on different subjects written during specific periods of the writer's life, from graduate school, to jail, and finally homelessness.
