She considers what a homeland would be for a divided nation and a divided self: what it means to enter language, the body, the family, the community; to be a daughter, sister, lover, citizen, or exile. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn settings from New York to San Francisco, from Scotland to Seoul, her poems question \"what threads hold \/ our lives together\" in cities and gardens, battlefields and small towns. Across the no-man's-land between every \"you\" and \"I,\" her speakers encounter, quarrel with, or honor others, traveling between the living and the dead, between horror over the disastrous events of the past and hope for the future. Drawing upon a wide range of voices, styles, and perspectives, \u003ci\u003eNotes from the Divided Country\u003c\/i\u003e bears witness to the vanishing world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807128732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.00w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Walt Whitman Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2003 pg. 1141\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/21\/2003 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2003 pg. 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2003 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Suji Kwock Kim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36644059480220,"sku":"9780807128732","price":17.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b115c552-877e-4cdb-871c-f489b83c320b.jpg?v=1603857827","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/notes-from-the-divided-country-poems-9780807128732","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
