about korean mourning rituals
“korean mourning rituals is a high-energy and calculated cry full of colors and textures that will stay with you long after putting it down. Kong’s dark humor and proud sense of rebellion make these poems really fun to read. It’s a stunning, bold book with a fresh take on both self-love and belonging. It made me dream deeper.”
--Anna Flores, author of Pocha Theory
“Erin Kong writes to create both personal and generational documentation of the Korean American experience. The poems in korean mourning rituals will draw blood and bruise bone. Kong’s poetry sings a decades old story, thick with love, longing, betrayal and survival.”
--Sean Avery, rapper and poet
