About this book

"The mixture of imagination, language, and historical consciousness in this book is marvelous."―Adrienne Rich, Barnard Women Poets Prize citation "The Guide" is a former South Korean dissident and tour guide who speaks a fluid fabricated language; "the Historian" interviews the Guide and annotates the commentaries. Cathy Park Hong's passionate and artful poem sequence weaves an ultimately revitalizing dialogue on shared experience in a globalized world, using language as subversion and disguise.
