Description
Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. SEASON OF DARES leans into fragments of the scriptures, narratives and mythologies of a Korean adoptee's childhood in the rural American West. Fearlessly, it revisits and explores the physical and spiritual landscapes of those communities and the tensions between the impulses that shaped them—violence and tenderness, stoicism and sentimentalism, self-reliance and belief in divine providence.
