| book description |

Yale Younger Poet Cindy Juyoung Ok resolutely searches for hope in spaces of fragmentation Â Finalist for the National Book Critics Circleâ€™s John Leonard Prize for Best First Book, 2024Â â€¢Â Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Poetry, 2024 Â â€œThere are places,â€ Cindy Juyoung Ok writes, â€œwhere shaking is expected, loss is / assumed.â€ Â In the 118th volume of the Yale Series of Younger Poets, Ok moves assuredly between spacesâ€”from the psych ward to a prison cell, from divided countries to hospice wards. She plumbs these institutions of constraint, ward to ward, and the role of each realityâ€™s language, word to word, as she uncovers fractured private codes and shares them in argument, song, and prayer. Â Using visual play in invented forms, Ok counters familiar narratives about mental illness, abuse, and death, positing that it is not a personâ€™s character or will that makes survival possible, but luck, and other people. The poems disrupt expectation with the comedy of institutionalized teens, nostalgia after the climate crisis, tenderness in a nursing home, and the wholeness of faltering Englishes. How do pagodas, Seinfeld, ransoms, swans, and copays each make or refuse meaning? Okâ€™s resolute, energized debut shifts languageâ€™s fissures to reassemble them into a new place of belonging.
