Poetry Master Class with Myung Mi Kim

Myung Mi Kim, Director of The Poetics Program at the University at Buffalo and leading voice in contemporary poetics, reflect on her extensive body of work.
This intimate conversation will allow you to speak to Myung about her work, ask any questions you have about craft and practice and get feedback from Myung on your own writing. Author of the highly praised
Under Flag,
The Bounty,
Dura, and
Commons, Myung’s latest collection
Penury was released in June of 2009. Commenting on
Penury, poet Erin Moure has said, “Myung Mi Kim’s poetry cuts through all the necrotized word-dressing on the body of English. She unearths possible tools, tools that are not fragments or remainders but “hand tools” that can quarry thoughts, memories, griefs, patiences across borders, deaths, and into new lands, where pronunciation is not obvious, and where ‘native speakers recognize native speakers,’ blindsiding others."
Myung Mi Kim is the author of
Penury (Omnidawn Publishing). Her
other books and chapbooks include
River Antes (Atticus/Finch),
Commons
(University of California Press),
