by Sun Yung Shin (Author)
Who is guest, and who is host? Adoption, Antigone, zombies, clones, and minotaurs-all building blocks, forming and reforming our ideas.
Poetry as essay, as a way of hovering over the uncanny, sci-fi orientalism, Antigone, cyborgs, Borges, disobedience.
Sun Yung Shin moves ideas around like building blocks, forming and reforming new constructions of what it means to be guest, to be host. How to be at home.
