“I teach a class to the newly enrolled ghosts…/I make them practice so they won’t be shocked even if they leave no footprints on the
snowfield/ I make them practice falling asleep floating in air/ I teach them such things as how to overcome melancholy inside a coffin…”
By Kim Hyesoon, translated from Korean by Don Mee Choi.
“you and I begin to rot in the open. I can’t leave the lights on for you any longer. We can no longer look each other in the face…”
By Kim Hyesoon, translated from Korean by Don Mee Choi.
