A debut English-language collection from an award-winning contemporary Korean poet.

Light Mesh, Choi Jeongrye's final book, performs a dislocation of the everyday. In poems that are playful, imaginative, and sometimes surreal, we move through a series of familiar yet uncanny locations, always grounded with Choi's wit. This book showcases Choi's style with succinct imagery and descriptions of everyday life in deceptively simple language.
