Sun Yung Shin :: Skirt Full of Black
I meet a lot of people through karaoke. Sun Yung Shin is one such person. Well, let me clarify. We first met briefly at a photography exhibit of the Tour de France by Caroline Yang. Shortly thereafter, we met singing karaoke. Not only can SY hold a tune, she can write. I mean, write. Not this sort of blogging stuff (though she does a bit of it too).
Her latest book (as in she has written more than one; see here and here) is titled Skirt Full of Black. This is a collection of poetry that interrogates through poetics the nature and meaning of culture, race, adoption, family, identity, religion, and sovereignty of nation and state (among other things).
Come to her book launch on May 1, 2007, 7 p.m.
with Yuko Taniguchi and Wang Ping
Loft Literary Center, Minneapolis
And....Read a feature story on her in the Pioneer Press.
