Lim Solah is a rare poet-seer who looks so closely at creatures great and small that she plunges in and inhabits them. In doing so, her introspections take us face to face with the city of Seoul, full of gusto and disgust, showing us the best way to see something is to become it. A post-human prayer book, urban survivor's guide, and primer on the meteorology of awareness, this is a tome of ecstasy-open only to those courageous enough to venture outside themselves. -Loren Goodman Lim Solah is a joyous, irreverent auteur whose remit remains unapologetically visionary: 'I want to see a giraffe. I go to see a giraffe. // I fail to see a giraffe / so I make a giraffe.' Quizzing the quiddities inside our everyday mundanities, here is a poet peep[ing] into the rifts in the air ... Lim's enchantments are incantatory responses, laboring playfully toward a powerfully estranging logic. Read these poems: see, sense, feel as if for a first time. -Dan Disney
