Translating Mo'um
Poetry. Asian American Studies. "Deft, edgy, dystopic, assiduous in their loathing of the famous fascination of the exotic, Cathy Park Hong's poems burst forth in searing flashes of ire and insight. She gives no quarter to either Korean or English. Without creative interference, without mistranslation, language to her is history's 'cracked' thorax, a resented 'dictation,' and a constant personal embarrassment. Her poems are 'islands without flags,' 'the ocean a slate gray/ along the wolf-hued sand.' TRANSLATING MO'UM is striking both for its stabbingly original, vinegary images and its ruthless honesty: Hong being that rare thing, a poet as rigorous in her self-scrutiny as in her cultural confrontations"-Calvin Bedient.

Adrienne Rich chose Cathy Park Hong's "audacious" (Los Angeles Times) second book as the winner of the 2006 Barnard Women Poets Prize. Named one of the Los Angeles Times's Best Science Fiction Books in 2007, Dance Dance Revolution is a genre-bending tour de force told from the perspective of the Guide, a former dissident and tour guide of an imagined desert city.
Engine Empire: Poems
"A brainy, glinting triptych . . . . Novelistic, meditative, offbeat, and soulful, Cathy Park Hong's poetry is many fathoms deep." —David Mitchell Engine Empire is a trilogy of lyric and narrative poems that evoke an array of genres and voices, from Western ballads to sonnets about industrialized China to fragmented lyric poems set in the future. Through three distinct yet interconnected sequences, Cathy Park Hong explores the collective consciousness of fictionalized boomtowns in order to explore the myth of prosperity. The first sequence, called "Ballad of Our Jim," draws inspiration from the Old West and follows a band of outlaw fortune seekers who travel to a California mining town dur...

Summary of Cathy Park Hong's Minor Feelings
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a rare neuromuscular condition called hemifacial spasm, which was triggered by two cranial nerves behind my ear. In 2004, a doctor in Pittsburgh corrected my spasms by inserting a tiny sponge to separate the two entwined nerves. Now, seven years later, I was convinced my spasms had returned. I was afraid that my face would tic uncontrollably. #2 I went to see a therapist who was contracted with Aetna. She asked me standard questions about my depression, and when I couldn’t remember a time when I’d felt comfort, I broke down in tears. #3 I have always struggled to prove myself to others. I’m a modern-day scrivener, working five times as hard as others and still not being appreciated for my efforts. #4 The self-hating Asian is characterized by seeing yourself the way the white majority sees you, and thus becoming your own worst enemy. Your only defense is to be hard on yourself.
