https://t.co/zgXREcpms4 !! thank you everyone for the congratulations!! 😭😭😭😭💗 I was going to post this after final submission next week, but I defended my dissertation last Friday. I'm informally/almost Dr. Yoon! PhD in Korean literature. It hasn't hit me really maybe bc I didn't throw a party (lol) so perhaps sending this out will make it feel more real😌 Don't you love when your friends love your other friends Boys have reached
The roof at night
Watching silently how
The fish under the bedsheet
Slowly hold up dreams

Pray to have never been born
Never crossing a
Toy street selling cannons
Tanks and airplanes
After the game
The world
Is no longer young

https://t.co/25Vo7kBlEB @NifMuhammad I have the opposite problem though since I live in Honolulu; everyone's like, "(/takes out calendar) can I come June 7-18 or August 20-30 or December 14-21" @NifMuhammad I loved Columbus!!

https://t.co/8t09tcmPhI Oh @danalevinpoet, our broken hearts are holding one another in this poem on this devastating day. Thank you. I had the honor of translating 10 poems by Kim Seung-hee, one of the most celebrated feminist poets in S. Korea, and an essay on Kim's life and poetics by Lee Kyungsoo. Here's one new poem and the opening paragraph of the essay.

love poems, despising the moon in all its shapes.
Do you remember how much I despised heartbreak
poems? As if it is all there is to the world. It is all there is
to the world.

https://t.co/ZKHN9HLbHb I was afraid,
of course, as usual. Not of death
or that you’ll be the one to kill me. We both
saw that coming, didn’t we?
And still dove, hands-first, into the glistening,
algae-rotten lake of sleep.

https://t.co/vqVtPfLNbK @MeanMisterKien I liked this tweet then had to unlike when I got to the second half of the sentence what is a poetic line if not a tangent to everything spending 3 hours trying to condense interesting but only tangentially relevant 200 pages of reading into a footnote feels kind of similar to writing a poem I say, Hello world, in blinking my eyes.
So it floods in like a flock of folk
and squeezes inside a lobby
through double doors—
Magic: a book is opening before me.

https://t.co/vqVtPfLNbK @ina_carino it is our pride and joy to share your work!! cabbies on the graveyard shift swear
she is beautiful—but the kind of beautiful
that calls to mind the final swell
of red hibiscus growing in ditches.

https://t.co/KKyaxYeWJv maybe because we are human
we sift through the darkness of millennia

https://t.co/KKyaxYeWJv I can never say how happy I am with you, because I know
you will never understand. Don’t blame me, if I think
I want to live forever. I am so afraid, and also truly disgusting.
