I realize that reading poetry is seen as a bit of an affectation but dammit, sometimes I need me some of that purely distilled wordcraft. Not everything is a hit, I've lost a bit of the ear for the language but that's why this volume was a revelation. Cathy Park Hong creates her own language for the Desert guide, a funky patois of Korean, English and ebonics that just begs to be read aloud.
