A collection of poems that gives new life and magic to the everyday.

Radio Days offers a unique collection by Ha Jaeyoun in a distinct, clear style, distinguishing it from her previous works in English. Although her poems range widely in topic, they are united by lucid language and breathtaking imagery. Through vivid impressions of humid childhood summers, Radio Days is an extended meditation on the heartbreak of growing up and being alive. Together, the poems create a whimsical, quietly unsettling, and nostalgic universe that is easily entered while refusing to make obvious statements on loss and love.

Industry Reviews

"Lee Sumyeong's poems in Colin Leemarshall's fluidly odd translation find language forms for something like 'omnidirectional' ontological 'dislocation;' they 'shake the whereabouts,' 'congealed with excitement.' Like the subject-objects and object-subjects that 'do cooperation unknown to us,' these poems feel like a kind of weird exercise in living with/as "strange signs that cannot be learned'- in reading them 'I seem to pass by having become an exercise I do not know.' But like most truly interesting art and the historical/perceptual materials from which it arises, just because you don't know and can't learn what's happening to you, doesn't mean it isn't happening to you."-Kirsten (Kai) Ihns
