Description
Fiction. Poetry. Asian American Studies. Women's Studies. THE SUM OF BREATHING, a collection of stories, poems, memoir, and spoken word, trenchantly explores the inheritances of memory, loss, feminism, racism, and place. The collection explores life, family, and love as a Korean American with a keen eye for detail and with elegant, restrained language that reads like classical music.
