✨ PREORDER in bio ✨ Selected for the 2022 Anzaldúa Poetry Prize: Apricots grow in Suncheon, korea, where the author was born. The mountain unfurls bodies. Underneath them, the bedrock leaks saltwater. In Transuding, Yunkyo Moon-Kim seeps across dream states and borders in ecological forms. Constantly transforming, permuting, and mutating, the poems leap toward imagined oneness, toward un-demarcating both nations and gender.

“I return to Yunkyo Moon-Kim’s Transuding again and again, drawn by the promise of ruin and resuscitation, the blade of the self against the whetstone of remembering. The poems here resist the mitotic impulse of borders, the stultifying boundaries of gender, following instead ‘queer orbits’: they refract, mirror, splinter, then give way.”
—Donika Kelly, author of The Renunciations

✨ PREORDER ✨ Selected for the 2023 Emerging Poets Chapbook Series, “Residence Time” speaks of not only who crossed the Atlantic during the Middle Passage, but who is still suspended in the water. In her debut poetry collection, Sarah Kersey () investigates her linguistic, spiritual, and familial origins through storytelling.

Congratulations, Andrea Gibson !!
